Well if you are worried about having the latest greatest then don't even
bother with the 2000 and just go buy a AvMap EKP IV and then you will have
a great hand held. It does cost a few hundred more than the 2000 but the
AvMap EKP IV screen is so superior to the 2000 I wouldn't consider any other
hand held.
The 2000 is nice and for $700 not a bad deal but looking at them side by
side at Sun n Fun the AvMap is just so much nicer.






Have a good day and stay out of the trees!

I have been looking for a decent, nice size color screen GPS for under
$1,000. Just recently the Lowrance Avmap 2000c has gone on sale for as
little as $699! I called one of the dealers (Gulf Coast Avionics) just to
check if it is a sale or a "close out" and was assured it is just a
temporary sale.

Is this too good to be true, could it be that Lowrance is planning a
release soon of a 2000x with weather?

I like the unit but would like to avoid buying a unit that could be
obsolete in months.

Any thoughts?
