Lowrance 2000C vs. AvMap -- comments appreciated
Jay Masino wrote:
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 |

Okay, I have bought over 10 different GPS that I used for min 10hrs each. So far, the best GPS has been the AvMAP IV. It is the best. We mounted several in dash on the cessna 172's. It beats the pants off of anything else. You can mount it side ways and it fits nicely into the 172 dash. We had to to move the ADF, DME and transponder to the right side of the dash. There is a dash mounting kit available, but we made out own. It can be coupled to the autopilot but does not have mode s. This unit kicks ass over the stupid MFD500 that cessna charges over $5000 for. -- rajibaji ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Posted via OziPilots Online [ http://www.OziPilotsOnline.com.au ] - A website for Australian Pilots regardless of when, why, or what they fly - |
