The successor to the original LX8000 series is here.
The new LX8040 with an extremely bright, 4� colour display.
A anti-glare screen brings a lot of comfort during flight and fits into all common gliders.
It comes in a package with a 57mm V8 variometer (optionally with V9 (57mm) or V80 (80mm)).
High-level IGC approved flight recorder with advanced engine noise level sensor.
The simple and logical user interface is fully customizable and designed for toplevel competitors, club operation as well as for beginners.

Preloaded worldwide terrain, map, airspace and airport databases – all available for free (available from www.lxnav.com)!
User friendly data exchange using USB-stick and even WiFi.
With the integrated WiFi module (and LXNAV connect), you now unlock the full potential of your device.
Services like Rain radar, Topmeteo, Skysight, NOTAMs (GPSAeroData), flight uploads, US Charts, device upgrades and many other features are now just a click away even while flying.
Google drive and Dropbox support makes synchronizing waypoints, tasks, airspaces and pilot profiles fast and simple. It makes carrying SD-card around a thing of the past.

The new HAWK software enables you to see real time wind, an accurate netto vario and Artificial horizon.
HAWK applies an “extended Kalman filter� (EKF) algorithm that jointly estimates all three dimensions of the air mass movement.
No compensation needed, since it uses no law of energy conservation. More accurate netto vario readings independent of glider speed.
No false thermals due to wind gusts = No more “stick� lift.
The results of the attitude estimate of the EKF can also be displayed as an artificial horizon.

With the internal (Power)Flarm/ADS-B option or an external Flarm/ADS-B device connected, the LX8040 can display all types of Flarm, ADS-B or PCAS objects (both visual and audible).
The target’s present position, altitude and vertical speed can be displayed on the map.

The LX8040 is compatible with all LX80xxD/LX90xxD repeaters.

LXNAV - the Apple of the gliding industry.
