| Subject: | Portable GPS Question |
I have had a Lowrance Airmap 2000C for about 6 years. Apparently Lowrance is totally
out of the aviation business and no longer providing database updates.
I am shopping for a replacement. Besides the usual Garmin units does anyone have
any experience with the Bendix AV8OR or the Anywhere Map Quadra?

I too have been using an Airmap (1000) for many years and have been lookin
g around for a replacement in the next year or so. I have been looking at
the iFly, but just have not figured out how I would mount it, as it is bi
gger then the Airmap. I am not ready to pay Garmin prices for a VFR GPS.
In the same size frame (or maybe a bit bigger) is the IPad, which has many
aviation apps available, but still the same issue of where to mount it?..

It has one of the best mounts I have seen....suction cup it to a corner
of your windshield and let the screen rest on or just below your glare
shield....I can't imagine a set up where the mount would not work....it
sticks tight and twist in any direction....not suitable as a yoke mount
as it does not have a clamp but the attach point on the back would let
you improvise if need be....

In the past I have not had good luck with suction mounts on Plexiglas. It
seems more porous then glass, and after 20 min it falls off. I would pre
fer a more solid mount.

A little soapy water or saliva in a pinch will help a suction cup hold
better. If it gets direct sun, the heat will make the small air pocket
expand and sometimes pop the suction cup loose.
