LXNAV TrafficView57 & TrafficView80
The TrafficView is designed to have the largest traffic display possible that fits into a standard instrument hole. The TrafficView57 fits into a standard 57 mm (2 1/4") instrument hole and the TrafficView80 fits into a standard 80 mm (3 1/8") instrument hole. Soaring pilots that are familiar with the very popular LXNAV S8, S80, S10, S100, V8 and V80 variometers will recognize that the display from those instruments is used here in the TrafficView - rotated 90 degrees so the buttos are below the screen.

Like the FlarmView2, the new TrafficView also offers waypoint and task navigation.

LXNAV has put a lot of thought into making the display of traffic intuitive - especially in urgent situations - as you can see from the images at right.

The TrafficView is designed for mounting in an instrument hole. If your sailplanes instrument panel doesn't have an available instrument hole, you may want to consider the LXNAV FlarmView, FlarmView2 and FlarmLED+. 

I suspect that the large 80mm version will be an ideal traffic display for soaring club sailplanes.

When connected to a PowerFLARM product, the TrafficView displays FLARM, ADS-B 1090, and PCAS (Mode C and Mode S transponder) traffic.

The user-interface consists of 3 push-buttons below the display and a single rotary knob with pushbutton functionality. It is designed to be extremly easy to use in flight. A microSD memory card slot on the front face of the unit makes firmware and FlarmNet updates extremely convenient.

The built-in speaker is very loud - which is important for traffic alerts.

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.
