Default Which GPS w/laptop moving map?

I used the GPS10 with Voyager during the beta test with no problems.

Yes, but SeattleAvionics said there may be compatibility problems with the
Garmin, as Garmin is not using standard NMEA 0183 Data protocol.

The new version 3.0 of Seattle Avionics's Voyager just came out, and
it has a nice moving map. I want to start using it on my laptop, but
need to buy a GPS, first. SA recommends the Pharos GPS360, but I
always thought the Garmin GPS 10 may be the better option. Does
anyone have experience with any of these?




The Garmin GPS10 is probably the better unit. It has a very fast
acquisition and 10-12 hour battery life.

However, the GPS10 does have magnets in the bottom of the case. With
care, the case can be opened and the magnets removed.
