What else do you like about the 2000c vs. your old 1000? Even pilots that fly over flat terrtain benefit from terrain capabilities. Where I fly, towers are everywhere for the first 15-45 minutes, depending on the direction I travel. Airspace also appears on the terrain page, which is a nice treat. Oh look, 5-minutes ahead is a tower at my altitude and 10-minutes ahead is class bravo. While I very much enjoy the color display, I hear the 1000 runs infinitely longer on batteries. Batteries in my 2000c might make 2- hours. Greg |

In reading the documentation for the 2000c, the manufacturer expects the batteries to be used as an emergency backup only, and that normal operations of the unit should be via ship power. FYI |

You guys had such good things to say about it that I ordered one.
I found one at $689.50 for that price I can't go wrong. Cheers: Paul NI431A |
