Default 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

Jay,

I'd be surprised if AvMap didn't have an international database option --
C-Map (makers of AvMap) is an Italian company.


Nothing on it on their website, no reply to my e-mail inquiry. Speaks for
itself, IMHO.


- land navigation with turn-by-turn voice instruction


According to their website http://www.avmapnavigation.com/ , they have
street level navigation databases available for the AvMap.


But not turn-by-turn nav with voice.

Brian,

Thanks! Never would have thought that "sub-continental" actually means
"other continents than the US", not "parts of the American continent".

Still no answer on a simple e-mail inquiry. Hmm.

Which e-mail address did you use? I had some questions, and sent them
directly to their Aviation Manager, Bill Poirier, and got a pretty quick
response. His address is
