I'd second Dan's comments. I returned a 195 in exchange for the III Pilot.
IMHO the 195 is cludgy and has antiquated connections. The III Pilot is
horizontal or vertical, you choose, fits nicely in the yoke or in top of the
glare shield and is as functional (if not moreso than the 195). I was
initially skeptical about the screen size, but, even with my aging eyes, thi
isn't an issue - plenty big enough. For the price, it's a great little
unit. Save some extra bucks and get the III Plus - non-aviation - and
upload your waypoints. You miss out on the Jepp DB and the airspace etc,
but most of the NDBs VORs etc you can upload.

FWIW,

I had a GPS III Pilot, then a 195. I liked the little GPS III Pilot
better. If you're looking for an o'hauled unit, I recommend it over the
195.
