Problem with the 2000C is the battery life IMO.
If you'll be flying planes with no cig. lighter...

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 likely to interfere with your compass.

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.
