Has anyone used this Unit? I have seen a lot of discussions on the
larger AvMap EKP IV but not much on this one. Any PIREP's out there?
I've been looking for a handheld unit that has the best sunlight
readable screen for my old eyes that won't break the bank and that's
easy to handle around in the cockpit. I've borrowed a Garmin 296 and
it's ok. I'm used to the interface but the screen, though pretty good
in direct sunlight, is a little small. The Lowrance 2000C seems to be
a pretty good deal right now but is it kind of bulky?
As far as I can tell, my best options are Garmin 296 , AvMap GeoPilot
II Plus or Lowrance 2000C
I know this has been debated to death here before but with the
GeoPilot II Plus with weather, is it the new alternative?
