Yes, I have a good reason...The Airmap 2000c. It's in color and that is
the primary difference between the two units. The display is VERY
readable in the sun and is not toooooo bright at night (on its dim
setting). Lowrance has great support, so I've found to this point.
I've had mine since the late July. I paid $749.00 and you *might* still
be able to get it for that price. I bought mine at Pacific Coast
Avionics. (http://www.pca.aero OR http://www.pacific-coast-avionics.com
[both are the same site] They've been good to me in the past.

No, I do not work for Lowrance or PCA, but I do live near PCA and am
happy with both companies' products/services.

So I am looking at the Lowrance Airmap 1000 as a portable alternative, but
for the life of me, can't find a single negative comment about it. Does
anyone have a good reason *not* to buy one? I fly for a hobby and benign IFR
at most.
