GPS questions

I just bought a Lowrance Airmap 2000c and I like it. It comes with all
of the options needed to install the GPS in a plane, car, or permanent
mount somewhere. I have found some useful information in my new
experiences using it:

1) Buy rechargable batteries - NiMH, not NiCad. The alkalines don't
last very long, especially with the backlighting on "high".

2) Read the manual when it comes to using the mapping software that
comes with the unit. It's good, but the manual is needed to get full
capability out of it.

3) Buy a big SD-Ram card. The 32MB card that comes with it is not enough.

4) Call Lowrance and get a new db if yours is out of date within the
first 30 days after purchase for a free current db. (one-time good deal)

5) Enjoy it! It's a fun unit.

You can purchase it (for what I found to be a reasonable price) at
http://www.pacific-coast-avionics.com. I've bought a few items there
and they've always been really good to me.

Happy Landings,

Chris

Terrain is an extra $99 option which is now available.


Do you have any pointers to where I could find this? On their website,
maybe?


Sorry, no. I'm just relaying what the Lowrance reps at OSH and the sales
reps at the CPA fly-in told me.
