Ardna,

we sell them in Germany and used one for testing, too. Some answers from our
experience:

1. Battery life is meant to be 12 hours , any personal experiences with
this.

Depends very much on how much you use backlighting. Between 9 and 12 hours is
realistic.

2. The external antenna, anyone had to use it inside the aircraft or is the
unit good by itself on the yoke mount?

We fly a low wing - didn't have to use the antenna. Might be different in a
high wing. The unit is very sensitive and locks on to the GPS signal very
well.

3. "high-contrast Film SuperTwist display" is meant to be easier to read in
sunlight, experiences ?

No problems to read in sunlight at all

4. "One Free Database Update" : how much are normal database updates

The "one free database" offer is only valid right after you buy the unit. An
update is 35 $ for a one-time which you can download via the internet. Very
convenient! Most people update once or twice per year.

5. Anyone had any warranty issues ?

None of our customers had any, yet.
