I'm just looking for solid performance, not lots of bells & whistles.
I like the eyeball and map nav method, but just hate that 'temporarily dis-oriented' feeling, and a GPS just gives you the ability to avoid that (I hope). The 196 looks a good'un, but too big and heavy and awkward for my purposes in my wee plane.... a bit overkill for me.
The way technology goes, it just seems to me that there must be a III replacement just around the corner - lighter, neater, cheaper......... but maybe not ....?????
