Date - 3-12-2009 Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Excellent GPS unit, great reference to airspaces, and weather. Yoke mount doesn't get in the way while flying, while keeping GPS close for ease of use. Screen updates slower than the 496, noticable, but definataly doesn't limit the information provided. ConsExpensive updates. General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |
Date - 2-20-2009 Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | the lower price (than the 496) is a big plus. I do not feel I missed any of the extra features of higher priced units. Cons( No Cons Listed From Reviewer ) General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |
Date - 1-14-2009 Rating - ATP OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended No | Background mapping of Hawaii was good. I bought this unit because of the XM weather capability. Only after trying to buy the subscription did I find out Hawaii is not covered. I did not need this particular model, as a result. I have a friend who uses his on the Mainland for long distance trips in unfamiliar territory. He loves it. |

Date - 9-28-2008 Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Can not beat this GPS. With weather it is exceptional. I am a student pilot and just bought a 1976 Archer. I had my instructor and I go to Fargo ND to pick it up. This was the first big purchase for the plane and it helped alot. Coming home we had to skirt around Ike and it was fantastic. ConsNone General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |

Date - 5-28-2008 Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Has everything the 496 does, just without the AOPA airport and taxiways directory. Weather is a huge plus. Also comes with even more accessories than I thought it would. ConsNone that I know of. General CommentsGreat product! I can't believe that I didn't buy this sooner. I am still getting used to it, as I am new to the whole GPS thing, but it is pretty user friendly. |

Date - 2-9-2008 Rating - Commercial OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Easy to use. Clear displays. ConsI'd like to be able to have the unit "talk" to my flight planning software. General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |
Date - 2-6-2008 Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Good database of airport information. Easy to navigate menues. ConsElectronic E6B could be better, but works ok. Lag time when scrolling can be frustrating as the unit will freeze for a second or two when the map is redrawing, and will freeze again after redrawn.

Date - 12-4-2007 Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | serves double duty ... gets you there in the air, and then in the car. Active weather makes avoiding embedded thunderstorms much easier! none General CommentsUsed it to bring my Christen Eagle home to California from Illinois, and it was indispensable. Also took it along in a C172 on flight from Monterey, CA to the Grand Canyon in AZ in August. With the active weather, we were able to easily avoid the drifting thunderstorms and see where the active lightning was. Would not have been able to complete the flight without it! |
Date - 11-28-2007 Rating - Commercial OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | The Real time XM Weather feature has enhanced our flight cabilities,safety and enjoyment tenfold. ConsWould like to have purchased the 496 but the added features are not worth the price difference. One can get an automobile Garmin for $300 dollars and we do not need the runway data which is primarily usefull at larger airports that we do not visit that much in our 182. General CommentsA must have for any serious general aviation aircraft owner. |
