I was under the impression that the font size used for the GPS data to the left of the HSI was to be increased in version 3.0. Alas, this doesn´t seem to be the case and I am still struggling to read the numbers. Any chance you could up the font size in the next release?

I second that. I have the 7 inch and the font on the screen information and airspace altitudes are totally unusable. Even when zoomed in the font on the airspace's remains the same size. I have 20/20 vision and had to pull out a sectional yesterday while flying thru the PHX class B. :(

#1) I would like to add a request to increase font size (or a user option)
#2) It would be very nice if the airport airspace altitudes would automatically move to the onscreen view or in front to the aircraft as it enters the approaching airspace. I have found that often the airspace altitudes are on the back side of the arc as I enter from the other side. This causes me to search the screen while zooming in and out to find the needed info. Than I cant read it after I locate it. :'(

I third for the increase font size. Real nice job on the increased size of the HSI. Now just need the data to the left of the HSI.

Also some of the map text is very hard to read----airport IDs being the hardest. Looks like the font for all may be the same size (too small), but the Airport magenta text kind of blooms to be unreadable at a distance.

My old Bluemountain (the small one) had map text that was easy to read---even though the screen size was much smaller than my 7 inch Dynon. One very nice feature of my Bluemountain was the ability to display the victor routes (you could toggle them on or off).

All of the new data base text within the map is real easy to read.

While the current 7 inch display is getting better with the larger HSI----I would still recommend all of the Cozy/Longez drivers to only get the larger display due to the still too small text and longer than normal eye-to-panel distances.
