Pretty impressive looking unit. Their web site is a bit sketchy, though. I'd
like to see some screen shots of the other available pages, particulary the
HSI display.

Some questions:
How many data fields can be displayed with the HSI?
Is the number of fields changeable?
Does the HSI have a "set OBS and hold" feature?
Can approaches be quick-loaded as routes (FAF to runway only on my 295)?
Is there a vectors-to-final option when an approach is selected?
If vectors-to-final is available, is the final course line depicted on the
moving map?
If you slew the map pointer to an airport or navaid, is bearing and distance
automatically shown?

Congratulations on your choice. I've been a loyal Garmin customer but I have
a bad feeling about them now that they've bought UPSAT. They were already
developing what I call a "Microsoft attitude" that can only get worse now.
We need to buy from their competition every chance we get.

Sorry I missed ya'll at OSH.
