I got a Garmin 295, which is now discontinued. You might be able to get one
cheap. It's a little slow, but it is an excellent piece of equipment. I
use it in a Sundowner, and I've never had to use an external antenna. I've
had very little trouble with satellite reception. It's an absolute
lifesaver. I would guess the 296 is even better, faster and with terrain
and obstructions.

YIPPEE! I'm now a private pilot!

I took and passed, the private pilot checkride on Tuesday.
What a relief! It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought I'd
be, and went very well.

Now I need an aviation GPS and 'Guest Headset', and I'm
hoping that readers of this list will have recommendations
about what to get, and where to buy it. Yes, I've seen
the eBay auctions, and I'm thinking of a higher end GPS,
maybe even color.

Any suggestions or experiences with specific models and
vendors will greatly help!

Regards,
Joe.
