Patrnflyr Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Anybody happen to see the new Skyview with touch screen? I just received an email from Aircraft Spruce about it. 1/20 the price of my G1000! http://www.aopa.org/News-and-Video/All-News/2014/March/19/Dynon.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingMonkey Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 They are nipping at MGL's heels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug G. Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Maybe they will offer a free upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingMonkey Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Yeah i saw the announcement on dynon earlier today. I don't like touchscreen. Gets smudgey. The anti glare screens really don't get smudges. And I have found you can really only see screen smudges when the screen is off; when lit the smudges are invisible. Unless you have been handling chocolate bars in 90 degree heat before using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anticept Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Yeaaaah that doesn't work for me. It's bad enough on my ipad, i easily notice smudges when others don't and it's extremely distracting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe turn up your brightness? Anyway, everybody has different preferences. The nice thing about the MGL iEFIS and the new Skyview is they are optional in the use of the touchscreen.

Dan Kent Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 The new touchscreen unit is both a touchscreen and the knobs and buttons still function. They will be offering a $795 upgrade, but they don't have this in 7" panels, only the 10" SV. Personally, I'm excited about version 10 of the SV software. The things I will use are the sectional charts (I have a subscription to Seattle Avionics), the altitude intercept arc, ADS-B winds aloft, and ADS-B tail numbers. There are many more features, but these seem to be the ones that interest me. http://preflight.dynonavionics.com/2014/03/introducing-new-skyview-featuring.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see the colors being refracted and hazy font edges. It drives me nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a heck of a time, when the weather gets bumpy, with my Garmin 796, no buttons. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
