It can handle something like 5 GPS inputs, in priority that you set. As for the quality of the moving map, I've only seen it in a stationary view, so far. However, it looks as sharp and detailed as any other moving map I've seen. You also can supplement whatever you install with an Ipad or mini-Ipad to have a different moving map or chart reference to what is in your panel. The menu/button selection on the Dynon seems fine to me, but again, I have not flown with it, only operating and making selection with the display powered up on the ground. All EFIS will have a learning curve. Some are more feature rich than others. So far the Dynon appears to be the most cost effective. Garmin has lowered the price of their G3X system to compete. However, you have to consider price of updating the data. Dynon charges a one time fee for moving map and synthetic vision, then the data updates are free. Garmin updates are generally quite expensive. When they get some competition, that may change. On 1/6/2014 3:16 AM, spcialeffects wrote: > > So i will be using the set up for VFR.
