Bang for your buck, you can't beat the baby handheld Garmins. They are small, efficient and cheap. They move easily from aircraft to aircraft and fit in your pocket. They take real batteries so you can carry spares. They are cheap and easy to update.

We have owned many 89, 90, 92, Pilot III models and they have a very hard life. Performance and longevity are excellent. They have been used in anger during total electrical failure (not by me) and they were a lifesaver.

Got a GPSMAP96 coming this week (too cheap to buy colour) and expect no less from this model.
