I can get a newly overhauled (like new condition) 195 with a 1 year
warranty for $550. No WAAS, no "panel page", 4 level gray.

Or I can spring the $875 for a new 196. WAAS, 12 level gray, W&B
capabilities, plus lots of other features. I could really use the street
map feature in the car but they soak you ANOTHER $250 for that. When I
think that all us taxpayers paid for all the street AND air data that
these GPS manufacturers get for FREE, it is a little annoying to pay
300% more for these devices than they should cost. Oh well, whining
feature OFF.


The 195 is also capable of doing W&B calculations, as well as trip
planning, routes, etc.

BTW, I have a 195 and love it. G
