Jay:

You are correct, the AvMap is truly awesome. But I found it too big to suite
me. I fondled it at the Expo also. I got drool all over it.

I don't think it will fit on my yoke real well, and I can't really strap it
to my leg and still scribble down clearances. I do like that color display
though. It is gangbusters.

You are right about Lowrance, they never were particularly on time with
their promised goodies.

I am putting color LCD displays in IR Thermal Imaging cameras at work. They
run less than $60 in small quantities. I sure don't understand why they are
not more common. TFT LCD Technology is pretty common. I can't wait for the
OLED technology to come out with larger displays. They are awesome.

Now if somebody can come up with a 5" diag color GPS mounted on your yoke in
landscape mode, that would be the ticket.

My only regret is they didn't have the screen in color. Watch, I will
buy
one, and they will announce a color screen.

Unlikely. Lowrance told me they were "just about" to introduce a color
GPS -- at OSH '99!

Want color? Get the AvMap... http://www.avmap.it/ It's awesome!
