GPS Choices

Somebody in customer service finally told me that they weren't planning on
any discount for owners of dead original AirMap units. My response was that
I would plan on my next GPS being a Garmin. I got the name of some
higher-up and sent a letter of complaint and finally got a discount. Not a
big one, but it was a better price than any web site.

I think the Lowrance AirMap 500 is the best bang for the buck for a
dedicated GPS.

Agreed. Just pray they support it in four years, when something breaks,
however.

Lowrance orphaned my Airmap 300 after just 48 months, and lost me as a
customer forever.

What happened to your AirMap, and which model did you have?

Mine just stopped "seeing" the database one day. It still comes and goes
(we use it on the co-pilot's yoke), but it's mostly gone.

I had the "original" AirMap, the same form-factor as the 300.

Its memory started acting up. I would be flying a stored route and all the
routes (current and saved) would vanish. Or, if you're asking what I did with
it, I parted it out on eBay to help pay for the 500.
