OK folks - anyone out there willing to share their experiences of some of the GPS units above ?
FWIW - I had an Avmap EKP-IV ... after 18 months, 3 replacement units, a broken nipple
and possibly the worst customer support in the world .. I gave up. Nice display and nice map ... but don't expect the Italians to respond to emails or complaints. At least Harry's have treated me fairly
Now looking at one of 3 possibles, but intend to put it in as a panel mount.
Garmin296/496 - what is the difference ? Can we get the Tfc info + Wx in UK?
Lowrance 2000C - cheap and cheerful - how good are the maps ?
Skymap 3C - Well tried and tested I believe - anyone got screenshots of West Scotland?
Mostly for VFR tootling around Scotland, so good map presentation (particularly depiction of lochs and terrain
) would be preferable.
Also planning some Euro-trips, so maps must have European databases.
Easy to input/goto user waypoints, VRPs and nearest airfields.
All help appreciated ... and might even lead to
a wee water landing
