Ed, I just started using one of those about two weeks ago. I was interested in it because of it's size and cost as compared to the 496. It has all of the functionality of the Garmin and then some on a 9" screen (about 3X the size of the 496). I am hooked on the XM weather, and a unique feature that calculates the best altutide for fuel burn and time. So far it's worked as advertised and I'm anxious to see their Hi-way in the Sky module. Two things about it I don't like so much. First, it's big (I know, I know) and I'm having trouble finding a good place in the cockpit for it (mine has a suction cup mount), and the other is the wires. I spent some time routing them out of sight, but there are two from the unit (power and USB) and then all the plugs, hub, XM antennas and GPs antennas. That's no different than the Garmin though (if you use an external antenna). One other thing - as a portable unit it's OK with me that it has a Windows XP interface (it's nice with wireless in an FBO for checking eMail) but I have concerns about Windows and stability . . . . . nothing serious yet though.

Thanks, Jeff I am down to one old eye ball and the black/white Garmin 195 is getting about as long in the tooth as I am. So a larger colored screen certainly has appeal. But, while I have like the Garmin, I like the idea of software upgrades rather than buying hardware each time and the data base subscription costs seemed more reasonable to me. Mine 195 is canopy (suction cup) mounted and I took their actual size printout and there is room enough in that location. Well, good luck, I would be interested in hearing from you after you have flow with it for a spell.
