AvMap EKP-IV Color Moving Map GPS With TAWS

Folks,
Have a good look at the above, biggest screen, and the best screen to read in direct AU sunlight. I think these are a wonderful GPS to use, and I have used quite a few hand-held.
This will be the replacement for my now dated Garmin 196.
A bit more than $500 (quite a bit) but much cheaper than the equivalent (and none are quite equivalent) Garmin.
If you have any doubts about the manufacturer's history, ask the yachties, they are big in marine GPS, have been for years.
Tootle pip!!
