It remains viewable in sunlight. The other, non-daylight screens that I have tried were very hard to see in sunlight. The only problem with the ST4121 is size. It may be too big of a display for some cockpits. If WxWorx can get Garmin "onboard" (and you would think that they could, since WxWorx is planned for the 1000 series)then they may be able to give us multiple GPS outputs. The current problem is that computer looks for GPS data as com port and locks up the com port for a given device. If 430/530 could have multiple "taps" to give signal, then each of these could work on different com port and be used for WxWorx, JeppView, etc. Tom > 3. The Toshiba was easy to read and operate in the clouds and at night. It > was okay in indirect sun, and virtually impossible in direct sunlight.
