Default AvMap EKP-IV users? any XM coming down the pipe?

Hello,


Just wondering if we have any AvMap EKP-IV users here that can give a
comparison to the Garmin x96 units. The lower price and the much
larger screen make it seem pretty attractive. Although I'd like to
have the XM weather capability. Any one know if this is somethiing
they're working on? It would seem that most companies would have to
get weather integrated (as an option at least) into their systems to
remain competitive.


Thoughts?

I've had an EKP-IV for a while.

Other than the larger screen (which is why I bought it), most of the
comparison is like trying to decide if Pepsi or Coke is better.

The larger screen is a definite advantage if your eyes are over 30.

I haven't heard a thing about weather, and as you say, to stay
competitive they will eventually have to offer it.

I have noticed the company doesn't seem to make vaporware announcements
like some other companies; they appear to hold the press releases
until there is a product you can actually order.
