Lowrance 2000c is superb value.
I switched from Garmin a few months ago & love it

We've got a 2000c on the pilot's yoke, and a Garmin 496 in an Airgizmo
panel dock on the co-pilot's side.

The 2000c is a better GPS than the 496, for roughly 1/6th the cost of
the Garmin. It has a bigger, better display, and I like the way it
displays things better.

That said, the 496 does things the 2000c can't. Airport diagrams,
AOPA information, live weather, TFRs, and road trips are just a few of
thel things that the Garmin does well.

If you don't need any of those things, the 2000c is the best GPS value
on the market, period.
