chuckle I forgot I have some of those here for my Palm IIIxe. I'll try
that, thanks for reminding me!

I did fly both of them this weekend here in the Caribbean. I was very
impressed with the 3600a.

Juan,
I put one of the protective sheets on the screen. I think that will solve
reflective problems.

What do you think of the display's readability in full sunlight? Like
many Palm units, the display is very reflective. The Lowrance doesn't
have that problem, apparently the display has some sort of micro-beveling
that reduces glare.

The Garmin 12v charger cable can be plugged into the lighter socket in a
higher voltage system since, according to Garmin it has a built-in
voltage regulator.

I just received my 3600A and am pleased with it but haven't flown with
it yet. The screen is readable. I picked Garmin because of the terrain
awareness feature and the useabiity as a PDA.

If you own a Garmin iQue 3600a (not the plain 3600) or a Lowrance
2000c, I'd
like to hear your opinion and comments on these units... good, bad or
neutral.

email me at

I don't have either yet, but...

The Garmin has internal rechargable batteries. After several e-mail
exchanges with Garmin, it appears they have an AC charger and a 12V
charger cable; no 24V cable now or planned.

The Lowrance runs off 4 AA batteries or 5V to 35V via a provided
adapter
cable.
