Default PIREP Wanted, Lowrance Airmap gps's

We are on year 3 + with our 2000C, had a 1000 before that..

100% works as advertised. Great manual, bright screen (batt life is
limited, batts good for standby only), upgrades are easy... The
included RAM mounting system is excellent and the operation is easy
and intuitive.


Agree completely. We have the 2000c on the pilots' yoke, and the Garmin 496
panel-docked on the co-pilot's side. The Lowrance is a vastly superior GPS
to the Garmin, at 1/5th the price.

It's got a larger screen, better background colors that make airports (and
other features) stand out, a very intuitive menu system, and larger,
easier-to-use buttons. We use the Lowrance as our primary navigational
source, and use the Garmin for weather and entertainment. (We've got XM
radio plumbed into the intercom -- a real Godsend on long flights.)

The Lowrance 2000c is a great unit, at a great price. Only downside? No
weather.
