Default PIREP : Lowrance AirMap 500

I know a Google search reveals a lot about the Airmap 500 but I am more
interesting in hearing from people who actually own and use one. I am not
interested in discussions between Lowrance and Garmin and which is better
than the other.

In particular..

1. Battery life is meant to be 12 hours , any personal experiences with
this.
2. The external antenna, anyone had to use it inside the aircraft or is the
unit good by itself on the yoke mount?
3. "high-contrast Film SuperTwist display" is meant to be easier to read in
sunlight, experiences ?
4. "One Free Database Update" : how much are normal database updates
5. Anyone had any warranty issues ?
