LXNAV FlarmView
The FlarmView is a very small and full-featured display for use with FLARM and PowerFLARM products. It can display FLARM traffic, ADS-B traffic and Mode C and Mode S transponder traffic. The user-interface consists of 4 pushbuttons which are easy to use in flight. The use of push-buttons allows the overall unit to be quite small (65 x 42 x 9 mm) - despite using the same size 320 x 240 pixel display as found on similar products. The display is easy to read in sunlight and can be configured with either a white or black background color. A built-in microSD memory card slot and included microSD card make software and FLARMNet upgrades extremely simple. The built-in speaker is very loud - which is important for traffic alerts.
Video overview of the LXNAV FlarmView, FlarmView2, and FlarmView57 remote FLARM displays. I show how to use the products and also put them into demo mode so you can see how they will display traffic and collision warnings.

The latest FlarmNet database can be downloaded at http://www.flarmnet.org.
Every FLARM owner should register their FLARM on the FlarmNet web site. Then users with the latest FlarmNet database will be able to see not just their FLARM ID, but also their contest number, name, glider type, etc. That makes it easy to know which nearby target is your soaring friend, etc.
