Cool

Have to back the others, have used, Garmin 100, Garmin pilot 3 and the Magellan. Personal favourite would have to be the Garmin 100 panel mounted in the Navajo. If your buying one for self the pilot 3 would be the one to get. Easy to use, big numbers and CDI.

I guess the only reason i liked the garmin 100, is because the others were portable. Always cords and things hangin around, skydivers always rubbing there rigs up against the dash, turning off the GPS normally when you need it most!

Have a question for you though, why doesnt the a/c you fly already have a GPS?? Have flown at a few DZ of the last few years, every plane i flew already had a GPS, mounted or portable. Have fun, dont be afraid to say no! and dont forget your parachute!!
