NVG compatible moving map

I wish we had moving map displays - the only moving our maps do is when you fold them!!

Try a Garmin 296 - I was recently amazed to find it was as good as any of the displays I used in a previous life in a Harrier GR7...

I also believe that all night SAR crews should have NVGs available... even if used by rear crew as 'opera glasses' for finding survivors... esp at sea...

good example here:
