having sorted out the paper charts, would you then consider the charts for the Aware GPS.

Is the 250,000 upgrade useful? I have not played with the unit yet, but wonder if the zoom of the display in 500,000 scale charts is enough.

I am likely to be bimbling along at about 90kts (my other aircraft is slower) and find that 250,000 paper charts are good for detail and give enough "speed illusion".

What have others found?

Andrew.
