Had they been customer service driven, they would have offered a nice discount on one of their new models. They did not, so I took my business elsewhere. Hi Jay, I thought they offered you a discount towards the Airmap 500 at Oshkosh last year but you were not impressed by its screen size? As I recalled reading in this newsgroup, they also offered another Airmap 300 owner credit. It's unfortunate that the chips used in Airmap 300 were not reliable but I would assume that faulty units would have been replaced during the warranty period. I am not at all surprised that the chips for Airmap300 are no longer available. In the electronic world with new products and chips being introduced almost every week, things get obsolete so quick and so fast. In many cases, it's cheaper and easier to just chuck the old sutffs and buy new ones than trying to find replacement components. |

I thought they offered you a discount towards the Airmap 500 at
Oshkosh last year but you were not impressed by its screen size? The guy at the Lowrance booth in OSH said he "thought they might be offering a discount to Airmap 300 customers" but he wasn't sure. He offered to "check it out" and I could "stop back at the booth tomorrow" -- or something like that. Between his luke-warm attitude (And who could blame him? He was at a trade show, and didn't want some disgruntled former customer messing with his crowd?), and the dinky size of the 500, I moved on. And, boy, am I glad I did. Lowrance's misfortune turned out to be a terrific break for us, and we've been enthusiastically happy with our AvMap ever since. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
