All,
Can anyone recommend a non-Garmin handheld GPS? I just sold my 496 which I liked (it went with the plane), and I'm looking for a replacement. There's really nothing all that special about Garmin products, so I thought I would look around and see if I can save some money. Trouble is, I don't know where to start!
I think I'd buy an AV8TOR, but I can't figure out if it has an E6B incorporated into its programming. I really liked that feature of the 496. The important points for me are:
1. Solid VFR map display - playing around at AS the other day, I liked the new Aeras' displays the best, but at $2,200? Come on.
2. Airport directory - crucial
3. E6B
4. XM Weather
What should I look at?
