GPS Models -- Pros and Cons

The software is great but the pen interface really is not practical
in-flight. CBAV is tough enough but you only need to access that once in a
while; a GPS requires far more frequent button-pushing and becomes much more
a part of your routine -- with a Garmin 196 you will essentially gain not
only a GPS but also an HSI.

Go with a dedicated aviation GPS.

Before you do anything wait to see the sanitary installation and pilot report on
the Garmin color 295 when we get to IOW. My whole tech forum this year is on
the neat, clean installation of a portable GPS into an airplane.
