Hardly use my Garmin 296 anymore. Whether in the jets at flight levels or in the spam can flying in the mountains, the iPad with Foreflight can't be beat. Get to where you're going...use the iPad instead of a laptop or Kindle reader, or whatever. The iPad does it all...and as Mad_Jock recommends, you can use it to scrape the ice off the windshield.

WiFi + cellular, 64GB recommended. I use a Bad Elf GPS Pro bluetooth antenna, as the highwing sometimes blanks the iPad's GPS reception, especially at higher latitudes. It lasts a long time and drives something like five devices. The perfect combination.
