I think I am sold on the AirMap 1000 with either Yoke Mount or the Suction
Cup Mount. I believe the 1000 comes with buth types of mounts, so I can
try them both and see what is the best for me. I have been looking for low
priced AirMaps and found one for $499.00, falls right at the edge of my
budget. Also, it includes all the goodies (e.g. 2 different mounts, Power
adapter, carrying case, extra memory card etc)

I will play with the demo software of the AirMap 1000 and make sure before
I order the unit tomorrow.

Also, if I had the extra $300 I could get the Airmap 2000C for something
like $799. That is a real steal IMO.

GPS yoke mounts are the way to go. Setting a GPS on top of the dash is

To be honest, as an emergency backup device, the Garmin 196 does not have
any special advantages over any other aviation GPS. If you were using it
all the time, especially with the new terrain feature, then yes.
