Default Lowrance 1000 comments

The plane I usually rent is probably going to be sold relatively soon.
I will miss the Garmin 430 since most of the planes left in the fleet
available to me do not have a GPS at all.

So I am looking at the Lowrance Airmap 1000 as a portable alternative,
but for the life of me, can't find a single negative comment about
it. I fly for a hobby and benign IFR at most.

I have a 2000C that has I love! In fact if you have an old Airmap,
Airmap 100, or Airmap 300 laying around (my previous GPS was the
original Lowrance Airmap), Lowrance will give you a $225 rebate. I
bought mine for $799 including terrain. With the $225 discount, it
was only $574!

It's no Garmin 496, and doesn't offer driving directions in the car,
but for an aviation unit you can't beat the price/performance ratio!
