| Subject: | Anywhere Map w/WX versus Garmin 396 |
--> Avionics-List message posted by: "Don Morrisey" <donmorrisey@hotmail.com>
I'm hoping to get some insight and opinions on the avionics list regarding =
using Anywhere map w/Weather versus the Garmin 396.
=20
The cost difference is substantial and I'd like to know from anyone who has=
experience with both systems whether or not it's ultimately worth it.
=20
I am strictly a VFR pilot. I like the Anywhere map system because it is a =
lower initial cost and I would not have to add weather right away, particul=
arly while I'm flying off my 40 hours. =20
=20
With my engine on the way and the purchase of all the firewall forward mate=
rial and panel instruments any deferral of cost is a benefit. I can start =
with The Anywhere Map/GPS system for $695 and the add to it as necessary.
=20
I also like Anywhere because it is upgradeable as time goes by. Downside i=
s 3 components as opposed to one with the Garmin. Ultimately I understand =
that the Garmin is probably a superior instrument and ...well....it's a Gar=
min.
=20
For the kind of flying I do I'm just not sure the cost or benefits would be=
worthwhile or realized.
=20
Any opinion either way would be greatly appreciated.
=20
Thanks. Don...

Don, I have no experience with other systems and I am computer stupid, so I
got the G396. I I have the $50/mo subscription so I can use it in the RV-7 and
the company Citation. It has helped me several times in each aircraft. I
think I would prefer the 396 to the radar in the Citation. I can see the whole
picture....no attenuation
Good luck.

I have and have used both.
Both require a separate item to get the weather. The Garmin has a remote
antenna that might get used or one may use the "stubby" that attaches
directly.
The both give you the same basic big picture with the weather.
The user interfaces are different obviously and that is a big item based on
user preferences.
The AMM Wx is cheaper and has more features. The Garmin is more integrated
so to speak and has dedicated buttons (this is a plus and a minus).
If you are comfortable with using the Ipaq in the cockpit then I think you
would be happy with the AWM Wx. If you are the type that just want to know
the three buttons to press then the Garmin is probably better.
Both are really nice products and both have helped me tremendously on long
trips.
