Hmmm... I'd just about decided to invest in a GPS-12 as I've used a friends and found it to be:
- simple to use and read in flight
- sufficiently functional without being overly complex or distracting
- relatively cheap
Should I consider an eTrex instead, and if so can anyone clarify what all the "family members" are about??!!
From the Garmin screen shots they make the GPS-12 look a bit like a brick, but do they trade features/functionality that are of use to PPL for price/looks?
PS ... I fly helis so ease of one handed operation and clarify of display are key factors!
Thanks in advance to anyone that can offer advice, am off to London tomorrow and will try to find a retailer that will let me play with both
