I'll hold you to that, bud. This forum is full of witnesses.

And if that 496 is wrapped in a Columbia or a DA-40 that would be superb.

For what I which to utilize the GPS during my instrument training, I purchased two. One was new at $100; the other was one year old at $150. I believe off the cuff, I purchased an Airmap 100 which for me is superb. My backup is an inexpensive Garmin.(I think) I purchase both on eBay.
I mentioned this in the PM, but it's relevant here. The Lowrance stuff seems to be good quality from what I've read, and it's about half the price of the Garmin stuff. Why? Is it just features?
