For those that are using the original Lowrance Airmap or Airmap 300, the database PROMs are no longer available. If you call Lowrance with the serial number off your unit, they will have you ship it to them and will issue you a letter of credit; $100 towards the Airmap 500, $175 towards the Airmap 1000 or $225 towards the Airmap 2000c. I found where I could get the Airmap 2000c on line for $875, then put the $225 against that, so got the new color unit for $650. This summer the Airmap 2000c will have a terrain awareness upgrade available as a $200 upgrade. Since I do fly in the mountains and at night fairly regularly, it's a no brainer purchase for me. The new Lowrance units use an industry standard flash prom so the OS and database upgrades can be downloaded via the internet and easily installed. I upgraded the OS and database on mine last night. OS was free. Jepp database was $35. -Jeff Scott
