Slightly off topic, but...

Planning to get one for my birthday in the spring, so: P3, 96 or 196? (Don't think I need colour, unless someone wants to suggest why I do!)

P3 - cheap, small & easy to mount; screen rather small
96 - screen bigger, but more expensive;
196 - lovely big screen, and not that much more than a 96, but probably overkill

At the moment I have a very basic eTrex, which I bought to see if I would actually use it - and I do, mostly for pseudo-DME. But I've flown a 172 with the 2001 Nav fit (i.e. big colour screen GPS) and now I'm spoilt and want one in every plane I fly...
