What about a Garmin 696? approx $3300 with a larger screen. Does it

more intimadating than it actually is . I've read the same reviews , but once
you get familiar with the software, flight planning,setting waypoints and
loading approaches, it's easy. Good point on the airways and the
yearly data base.There wasn't too much feedback on the Garmin ,so I didn't
mention the subsciption. If it came in a plane that we purchased outside
of Eagle , it wouldn't be a bad thing. I'm sure everybody has there wish
list , but if nothing else it's good for discussion.You can download the
software if anybody's interested .Nice day to go flying!!!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Yes, agreed.<br>
<br>
For what it's worth, I've read reviews of the 430W that suggest that<br>
it's not terribly easy to use, due to the user interface and a lack of<br>
some key features (such as Victor airway routing). The 480 (around<br>
$3000 more) has a better user interface and features, but reportedly<br>
takes more time to learn to use.<br>
<br>
For around the same price, there's the KSN 770, which seems to have<br>
better specs.<br>
<br>
If we're going to shop for these devices (rather than getting a plane<br>
that already has something installed), we might need to look around a<br>
little.<br>
<br>
Also, don't forget the extra $500 or so yearly for the subscription.<br>
