The successor to the smallest member of the LX80/90xx family is here. 2021 sees the birth of the next generation of small compact high end navigational instruments and the LX8030 is following the LX8040. It comes packed with a V8 variometer (optionally with V80). A 4.0″ anti-glare display that fits everywhere and an automatic light sensor that adjusts that brightness and optimizes the power consumption.
When compared to the LX8080 you find the following numbers: 31% bigger screen, 3 times more pixels and integrated WiFi-functionality.
