GPS Question: What to buy

Dennis, I'm curious to know how you like the 196 vs 195. I have a 195 and
swear by it! I was looking at the 196, but not sure what features it has
to justify 'trading up' (aviation usage only. Dont' care about ground / auto
usage). I'd appreciate your comments.

Interesting...
I have to note parenthetically that I have both the 195 and 196 in the
cockpit... That I fly all over the eastern USA with these units, and
sometimes in really nasty weather where they are invaluable, and rarely
have
I noted a degraded EPE, and it was both units the few times it has
happened - which was maybe three times over a number of years... I do use
windshield mounted antennas, not the stub antennas... I also have never
noticed any deviation between what the 196 is calling my position and what
the localizer/DME is showing on an instrument approach, and I use the GPS
on
all instrument approaches as a backup to the primary nav... YMMV

Although the 196 is great, I've recently started to have second
thoughts... ...
