Only reason I went with the Lowrance was the price was right. Bought the Marine unit for 80 bucks and re-programmed the sucker for air usage. Big screen of the 1000 was a bonus. Doug Rupert Simcoe Ontario
The other thing that I miss about my Garmin is the icons that represent airports. On the Garmin each airport is displayed with an icon that clearly shows it's runway orientation, an imitation of the way airports are displayed on a sectional. On the Airmap, all the runways look like they run north and south. Maybe they can be talked into improving that, because that comes in handy on windy days when you need to stop for fuel and don't want to search through a bunch of "nearby" airports to find one that's oriented into the wind...
