Anyone have any advice or opinions on the following models? I'm going to
buy
a Garmin 195 (used) or a Lowrance 500 or 1000.

Garmin refuses to put an obstruction database in their GPS units, which I
think is essential. That ruled them out.

Lowrance was "unable" to service our Airmap 300 when it went flakey after
just four years -- which ruled them out.

Check out the AvMap. It's awesome.
