Ok, first off, Sorry to do this to everyone yet again.... I can not
find all the information I seek, so I ask all the experts here. I am


Mike,
Nice web site.

If I were spending $750 on a GPS it would be a reconditioned Garmin 196,

and this mount:

This keeps the GPS off the yoke, out of the way, and in "plane" sight. This
is a better mount than any RAM.

The 196 now has an obstruction database for $35, and I bet you could talk
T/A into including it.

Best,
Karl


The website is something fun for me to do when I don't have enough
dollars to create lift. It is really like putting it together and
working on it. Every minute I spend working on the site reminds me of
my flight. Thanks for the compliment.

As for the GPS, the 196 is certainly a nice unit... I am just
considering all my options to unsure I get the most GPS for the least
amount of money. I am leaning towards the Airmap 500 or Airmap 1000,
but I am not totally sold yet. I wish I could find one to play around
with before I drop a pile of money for one.
