$600 - for a color moving map:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tegory=26 436

Argus 7000 - It'll run off of your GX55, displays airways, shows bearing and
distance to any navaid or airport, has ARTCC freqs, VOR freqs, Runway
dimensions (and maps), can be configured with an RMI option for IFR
approaches, etc. etc.

Hi everyone and thanks to all who helped me out with my Garmin 196 v. 295
question. It seems the 196 is ahead by a nose at the moment... (mainly due
to its redraw speed).

Anyway, I just got my plane (first flight was this morning!!! although it
did greet me with a dead battery)... It's a 1977 Cessna 206G for all you
curious bunch.

I'm thinking of adding some avionics and would appreciate your
thoughts/knowledge on this matter.

My current avionics stack includes:

Apollo GX55 IFR GPS
2 KX155 radios
King audio panel, ADF and transponder
S-TEC 50 autopilot

I would like to add a color moving map to my stack as well as a

stormscope.
Since I already have two very good radios, I think a Garmin 430 would be a
waste of money (even if I traded in one of the KX155s). A friend of mine
recommended I get a King MFD (150 or 250) which has GPS and moving map,

but
no radio. They also interface with the stormscope and the combined cost
would be less than a 430.

I suppose there are other possibilities as well.

Any thought, comments or recommendations?

Thanks in advance!

CGP.
