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.

I disagree.. Color is nice, but the truth of the matter is color units
have crappy battery life. If you really want a unit that is a good
emergency backup unit I think the Airmap 500 or 1000 are good
alternatives. The 1000 is easy to read in any light and runs for over
10 hours on batteries alone....

It does airspace, extended runway centerlines and is very easy to carry
and use...
