"carlos" wrote in message ... | Thanks. How do you like your MX-20? I do think it's a bit more expensive | than the King. One reason I'm leaning towards the King is that these are the | units Cessna uses on their newer planes (well, at least until they start | using the Garmin 1000s), so maintenance/support should be easier. | The King displays are at half the resolution of a VGA screen and show only eight colors. Special use airspace is depicted in the same color as your route. I have *frequently* found this to be a serious problem. The MX-20 is bigger, full VGA, and shows 256 colors. You can get options to have it depict Jeppview approach plates and superimpose your aircraft right on them. It has many more features than the King displays and is much easier to use for monitoring terrain and course. This display gives you a lot more bang for the buck than the Garmin 430/530, being bigger and clearer without forcing you to replace your GPS or radios. |
