The 10,000 ft altitude limit of any of the Motion based
systems is a SERIOUS limitation. When the weather isn't great, I like to
climb. Then my weather detection equipment doesn't
work...

Has anyone out there had any experience with
Mercury Computer Systems' VistaNav portable MFD? (http://www.mc.com/vistanav/) I saw
the unit for the first time at the Hillsboro Airshow this weekend and it looked
pretty slick. It costs more than a Garmin 396 ($4299, weather is a $650
option) but has more features and if it lives up to its claims
it would be worth it. It would make one heck of backup system.
If you've had in-flight experience with the VistaNav I'd like to hear what you
thought of it.
