I'm also looking, but have the advantage of borrowing some friends' GPS units. You do need a detachable antenna, at least I do in the 172 and Warrior I fly. The Garmin GPS 12 is cheap enough but the display is terrible. The Lowrance Airmap has a great display, but no real HSI screen. I am leaning towards the Garmin 195 which has everything-nice LCD, functional screens, great map, and remote antenna and yoke mount. Unfortunately, it's around $800 but after using a Garmin 12 on a trip, I'll wait until I can afford it.
