I like the Idea of being able to also mount my Ipod a cup holder and laptop
in a secure place with the seat rail mount just found a great mount suction
cup mount for my mini dv also. You would not believe how many 802.11 AP's
you can pick up at 1,500 agl with an external antenna.

It doesn't block any of the Sacred Six instruments, and the map is right
where I want it.


Still prefer my rail mount in my 172.
When in strong Florida sunlight I can tilt it to almost any angle.

Rail mounts don't work well in planes with only one door. It's kinda hard
to crawl across them!

I can view ours in direct sunlight...

One of many reasons why I have a Cessna 172. Two doors and two windows.

The difference with the Skymap IIIC is that it is much bigger than
most GPSs. Its a big hunk of GPS. The screen is much bigger than a
295. I'm almost sad to be getting rid of mine, but now that Garmin has
finally caught up in the terrain game, I'm going to jump ship.


You have to do, what you have to do.
As I am getting older and my eyes weaker
I prefer the big screen.
