Lowrance 2000C vs. AvMap -- comments appreciated
Jim,
some things I think are missing from the AvMap which, I believe, the 2000c and the Garmin have: - international database option - land navigation with turn-by-turn voice instruction - sea mode -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

This weekend, I cut out a piece of cardboard with the outside dimensions of the AvMap IV, and looked how it will fit in my Cherokee. It's a nice size. It's actually a little less tall than my GPSMAP 195, and about an inch or inch and a half wider. I won't be any problem. Now, I'm not particularly worried about the basic 6 instruments, because my plane has the pre-"T" scattered layout anyway. My 195 have been blocking my clock for years, and the AvMap IV will too. Get the RAM Suction Cup mount and move it up to the side of the windshield. |

That's an idea, but in my Cherokee, the compass is mounted in the top, left corner of the panel, and I suspect any GPS mounted with a suction cup in that area would block it, or atleast cause some magnetic interfence. I have no problem partially blocking my clock. I rarely fly IFR any more. --- Jay -- __!__ Jay and Teresa Masino ___(_)___ http://www2.ari.net/jmasino ! ! ! http://www.oceancityairport.com http://www.oc-adolfos.com |
