Hi Dene - Sorry, I can't recall. It was very much like the typical
Garmin hand-held before the moving map units came along. The model
number was one digit different from the otherwise identical aviation GPS
- something like x93 instead of x94.
There are a few reasons my plane cost as little as it did. One, I waited to
find a started project. I found a finished KR2S boat with spars, all
fittings, gear, wheels and brakes and all cables and EXP2 bus for only 500.00!
All
I had to purchase was glass and resin to finish the plane.
Bill, I bought a used Lowrance worldmap 1000 with a 5 inch screen for =
$85 on
e-bay. The difference between it and the Avmap? Database that can be =

cameras. Oh yeh, forgot to mention Worldmap is a marine unit and as =
Oh yeh, forgot to mention Worldmap is a marine unit and as anyone knows
when the word aircraft is mentioned the price goes up 10 times.
I have a Lowrance now and it works a treat. My first attempt was also a
cost-saver, but it turned out to be a bad idea - check out the
non-avia

I've tested my eMap up to 140 MPH... umm... in an airplane. Yeah, that's it.
I'll stick with that story ;)
