Our new Lowrance 2000C arrived this week, terrain is an add-on that will
take place next month, it will be available through their dealers. I know
ours promised us a price lower than what Jay quoted...



Really? What price are they quoting now for terrain?

If it gets cheap enough, I may actually spring for it. (Even living in
Iowa! :-)


Jay, I've flown with the terrain feature of a GPS. It is a complete
waste of money for a VFR pilot. It's even useless out here where we
actually have terrain. If where you fly there is a lot of antennas and
you often scud run and are dodging these antennas then an obstruction
database may be of some use.
