Comments on AvMap EKP-IV

I used to mount my Garmin GPS 195 to the yoke. Then I got the suction
cup mount. Now I mount it at eye level off to the side. Much better for
situational awareness and watching for traffic.

Lowrance Airmap 300 on the right yoke, as a backup.

It's a shame that the yoke is really the only place to mount something
in easy view of the pilot. Personally I hate having crap on the yoke.

My AvMap is mounted on the co-pilot's yoke, angled to the left so it is
easily in my scan.

This sort of thing seems to happen to everyone, I guess -- I catch myself
saying it about computer technology more and more -- but you must realize,
Jay, that this marks your official entry into old age.

Only if it's not "instant" anymore.

Yeah, I do, too. (Although the AvMap's screen is big enough to not be hard
to read at yoke-level.)

I've considered removing my old DME (boat anchor) and moving my avionics
master switch over to make room for panel mounting the AvMap. I think it
would be an easy (and very nice) velcro installation.

The new model IV would be especially nice looking on the panel, being
thinner.
