The only thing I did not like is that the map does noy rotate to match your direction of travel as does the Garmin. I also fly the Garmin and love it. I also have all the sectionals on my laptop which hooks up to my GPS and gives me a huge moving map display but it does not rotate to follow direction of travel either. You can put all the sectionals on your laptop for about $30 but they are not updateable.

A G armin 296 is the only other moving map that I have used. If you have ever used one of the Garmins let me know how it compares. I watched the video and have read some of the website and don't remember seeing terrain warnings. I'm sure there are other features that need to be compared but the Adventure Pilots big screen and touch screen icons are a plus. Let us know the pros and cons once you have some experience behind it.

For $499 plus $69 for chart updates for a year, it's a deal. To have a large screen is heaven.
