iEFIS. Let the fun begin.
OK as promissed, time to start letting the lion out of the bag (just a big cat).
A brief primer giving a quick but fairly comprehensive overview on what's been cooking at MGL over the last 5 years or so.

Is it too early to inquire about price and availability?
Unless I read incorrectly, the pdf indicated it may be connected to external devices. Am I to understand I may be able to use the split screen function to display the sectionals, low enroutes, approach plates, etc (which I already have in current subscription through another service) currently displayed on a Windows, Android or ipad tablet?
A simple suggestion...
I and others I speak with prefer the instantaneously recognizable display format of an analogue gauge for some instruments such as airspeed. Can you offer a user selectable option of changing the tape to a virtual gauge for airspeed?

Forane, the screens can be configured as you describe by the user (e.g. user customization, not there by default). There are tools for designing your own custom screens.
Check this example with MGL Voyagers - http://www.vansairforce.com/communit...ad.php?t=55895

I'll definitely want to see the performance in sunlight, now that i've used capacitive touchscreens (iPads, iPhones) in the cockpit in daylight I would have a hard time going back to a panel that uses resistive technology. But I remain optimistic!
Any chance there will be some visible at a booth at Arlington, WA this year?

Here are a couple of screens designed by MGL users. You can design your own screens or use stock supplied screens, any mix of analog versus digital presentations. You can design screens for specific flight modes.
These are the current G2 product but I'm sure the screen design capabilities have carried forward to iEFIS.
