That equals at least 2 cables running from the GPS for full

I have two cables going to my yoke-mounted 296 now--power and remote GPS
antenna. With a little creative routing and some tie-wraps, you can
hardly tell they're there. One more wouldn't be a problem.


That's true, but the reply was targeted at the poster who suggested that
there would be less wires with the Garmin than with a PDA-based system.
In fact, the Garmin will require at least 2 wires to do what modern
Bluetooth-based PDA/TabletPCs can do with just one.
