Looks like an improved version of the EKP-IIIc.
Has anyone tested this (or the IIIc for that matter)?
Comments, is it as good as it seems?

I had one, used it for a few months, and then sold it. Despite it's
fairly extensive declutter feature, I found the display rather annoying.
The aviation features I wanted to stand out, were too small, and I could
never get a good combination of declutter for flying over mainly rural
areas. I found that airports, navaids and vertical obstructions tended to
get overshadowed by ground features and roads. I found myself really
longing to have my GPSMAP 195 back. So, I put my GPSMAP 195 back, and I
haven't regretted it since. Most of the "information" type of things that
the AvMap gave you for airports (frequencies, airport diagrams,
approaches, etc) have been in my 195 for years. I found that the large
color screen was actually distracting when I was trying to pay attention
to other (more important) aspects of flying. If you're the kind of person
that gets an instant erection every time some glitzy new toy comes out,
then you'll probably love it. If you're more practical about your flying,
then you would probably be satisfied with a Garmin 196 or Lowrance 1000.
