Here is a review:

http://www.avionicswest.com/articles/airmap500.htm#2003

Lowrance has an emulator which is a free download at their website,
www.lowrance.com. The only problem is that the emulator does not have
aviation data. Based on my experience with the iFinder and the Airmap 500
emulator, I think that the Airmap 500 looks pretty good for the price.

The HSI is well done, but I think that it is better to customize the data
fields on the map and learn to use it. Use the map for situational
awareness and the data fields for precision.

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.
