t the EKP IV or the Lowrance
2000c. And on a price comparison alone, the Lowrance is the decided
winner.

Does anyone here see something I'm missing? Is the Lowrance the way to
go? Does Garmin really deliver something unique to justify their
pricing? And the EKP?

Thanks in advance!

I have a Lowrance 2000c. Wouldn't leave home without it. As with the
rest of the field, you will dig into your pocket now and again to keep the
database updated. Even the VFR data gets old eventually. Kind of like flying
with an old sectional, if you get my meaning. Seriously consider paying a
few extra $$ for the terrain avoidance, also. I have it, and while I might
not stake my life on it [or anything else but my MKII eyballs] I find it to
be a useful add-on.
On the down side, it is not much help in the car except to give you
ground speed. Final destination ETA on the ground is typically 10 to 20
minutes optimistic on long trips. LOL, it does get more accurate, the closer
you get to your [final] destination.
Hope this helps.
