All you enlightened folks...which should I choose and why ?

I would always go for Garmin. It's not that I'm superstitious (knock
on wood!) but Garmin has always gotten me home.

The strange thing is that their prices seem to differ significantly.
Sample prices -
Garmin 296 (with inbuilt terrain mapping) = $1500 (aprox)
Airmap 2000C (plus terrain mapping extra) = $1100 (aprox)

Just FYI, you should be able to get the 2000C for ~$800.

I like the Garmin. I have never had one go bad so I cant tell you about the
service.If I were you I would get the 396. It doesnt get much better than
that.

All - thanks for the valuable input.
Case anyone's wondering , I'll go with the AM 2000C.

Greg - any suggested website for getting the $800 tag on the AM 2000C ?

I'm sure I'll buy from them too. I got the address from others here. I
just don't recall who. I've seen it posted a couple of times since.

Let me know how your shopping experience goes.

I'd like to know also. Please let us know how it goes... that is an attractive
price.

I recently bought an AM1000 from him. Price $425, less $175 for my
AM300 tradein, net $250!! He had an AM2000c for $795, less $225 for
the AM300, net $570. I figured I didn't need the color (I have a 430
in the panel).
Great service. Highly recommended.
