I would hope so if we are going to spend all the money on buying them. The trimble isn't that bad.

The buttons stick. And when you use the knob to scroll the info lags.

Maybe they are better taken care of in the Lears?

You're so needy gosh!

I know! I am.

(Not really, though. I don't need a GPS period and am happy with DME, or as a luxury, the RNAV units.

Wow. That's good to know. Here I go assuming an AD = big $ maintenance.

Dont know which model Trimble you guys have,but I have a Trimble 2000 Approach Plus and got a notice from Jeppesen that said they will not update the card after June 2009. Dont know if this applies to you or not.

I don't know what "GPS" means, but DME is for wusses (/A is for airliners) and RNAV is too many letters to make sense.

Oh yeah? Well, my preferred navigation method is "hope" and "luck."

What are you guys talking about? I don't even fly the plane. I usually start praying and magically end up at all of my destinations!
