I have a Garmin 90 for sale with most recent upgrade. All accessories come with it including the original box. Used for less than 50 hours. $200 OBO. I'll guarantee the condition and if serious I can send pics. Call with questions. Trip Farmer 205-261-1033 (cell)

I'm a VFR pilot and looking at the Garmin 96C or the 3600a (though my 'dream machine' would have to be the 396). Has anyone actually flown with either and can comment on the visibility issue? The bells and whistles of the 3600a are certainly attractive, as well as the larger display, but the...

Take a look please at the bottom of: http://www.aviationsafety.com/gdl_69_comparison.htm According to this, the WAAS upgrade for the 430/530 will no longer include as a side effect access to the "additional" features of the GD-69. My understanding, from speaking with a Garmin rep months ago, was...

Hello, I am investigating about uploading from a PC and through the serial interface some hundreds of User Waypoints, necessary for VFR flight into a GNS 430. It seems that it is not officially feasible due to certification issues. That seems stupid, while manually entering waypoints may be worst...

Has anyone a good grasp of the schedule of upgrades coming for the Garmin GNS430? With at least two - WAAS and TAWS - requiring a unit to be shipped for an upgrade, I'd like to do some planning to avoid having the units (we've four in our club) away multiple times. I've searched on their website,...

Did somebody mount a GPSmap 196 to a Cessna 172 yoke? May I learn please about type of mounting gear used - original Garmin or OEM stuff like RAM mounts? Any drawbacks experienced with either system? Otto Braasch (EDML)

Have you seen that the Garmin GPSMAP276C is selling for $1000 less than the aviation version GPSMAP296? The units appear to be exactly identical. Does anyone know if the aviation database can be downloaded to the 276C?

I was wondering if anyone used a non-Garmin card in their GPS and if so how happy are you with it? Brendan

If any of you are considering buying a Garmin GPS find out about their tech support first. The backlight on my Garmin went out and I emailed Garmin to ask how to change the light. Their response: "From what you describe, the unit is not working properly. I have set up Return Material Authorization...

http://www.garmin.com/products/g1000/ Looks like we'll eventually be down to one avionics manufacturer to choose from. I don't neccessarily think this is a good thing. Anyone else's take on this?

Is it possible to do flight planning on my desktop computer and then upload it to my GNS430? I can't find the adaptor that I would need (or do I need to get a card and card-reader to transfer the information)? Also it is possible to use the same method to enter the checklists on the 430, or do I...
