* if I am very familiar with the area, then the moving
map adds very little


I politely disagree. If you get low, it's REALLY nice
to see, at a
glance, all the fields within reach. This was my prime
reason for going
with a moving map (GN II).


I agree. In the ongoing analog vs. digital debate, it's undeniable
that a quick glance at a moving map (e.g., Glide Navigator II) with
all the landing fields in your vicinity displayed with little circles
around the ones you can glide to (net of the wind, MacCready setting,
and arrival height margin) is much better than pulling up and reading
a sorted list. At least for me, that's a very useful feature even when
flying within my local area.
