After my 12 year old Garmin 195 started having problems, I purchased a
Lowrance 1000. In the few months I owned it, I had problems with the
buttons not working, a failed backlight, and difficulty locking onto
satellites. I eventually talked Lowrance into giving me my money back,
and I purchased a Garmin 296 instead.

My 2000C is still working flawlessly after many years. I would never put up with the Garmin issues. My 2000C has never
dropped satellites or missed a beat. It does suck up batteries though...
but, if I were to get another GPS today, it would be the Bendix AV8OR...
