At The Show this year I was asked to be a Lowrance beta tester for one of
their new products (actually an update to one of their current products).
Obviously I can't tell you what it is, but stand by for some Lowrance good
stuff.

I'll report back as they allow me.

I'm guessing Airmap 2000C w/XM or Airmap 600C w/XM. I'll probably add an XM
GPS to my portfolio next year, and I like Lowrance products. Of course,
there are 3 items I'd like to add to the RV and I still can't prioritize
them. 1) XM GPS. 2) Wing leveler/autopilot. 3) Dynon AHRS.

Any of these would greatly enhance my X/C ability and potentially give me a
*safer* airplane. The XM tells me where not to go. The Wing
leveler/autopilot has safety benefits on top of the convenience factor. The
AHRS (or wing leveler) greatly enhances my chances of surviving
unintentional IFR.

Of course, each item is about $2k, and the one I want most (the wing
leveler) is gonna be a bear to install in my airplane...
