Default Lowrance AirMap 2000c update

Display is fabulous, especially when upgrading from a 10 year old
monochrome display. The terrain awareness is awesome, and very useful
with a home airport in the Colorado front range (BJC - Jeffco). Street
prices are about half of comparable Garmin units - the 295 seems to be
around $1500. This isn't a slam of Garmin. I have friends with them
that are very happy. Based on experience so far, I can highly
recommend the 2000c.


Agree with Brian 100%. The 2000c is a fine product.

We run it on the co-pilot's yoke, with the AvMap IIIc on the pilot's yoke.
At over twice the cost of the 2000c, the AvMap is a much nicer GPS -- but
it's not *twice* the GPS the 2000c is.

In fact, other than the display size (and the incredible detail that the
AvMap can therefore display), I actually prefer using the Lowrance. It's a
more intuitive interface.
