Anyone using one? Thoughts? Reason for the question is I have an older EKP IV that has been a really good unit but I somehow lost the data card and a new one is $200. To be honest I can not see paying that much for something that is quite a few years old. I got an email today with a 'holiday special' pricing for trade in towards the newer EKP V. $650 and my unit for the new one. I know most of you use the ipad but in my opinion I prefer a designated GPS unit.
Nothing wrong with my IV other than the lost card so maybe I should just spend the $200 and keep what I have.
Free updates? How the heck did you get that? I think it was $35/mo or some such amount. I hadn't done mine in quite awhile since I used it in my floatplane and new maps sure weren't of any use to me....unless someone decided to move a lake. Sold that plane and took the GPS out. I removed the card, I think it is a 'CF' and brought it along to Oshkosh hoping they (AvMap) could update the maps for me. I am not a computer friendly guy. Well, to make a short story long. Got home and I can't find the data card. I am thinking I may have taken something out of my pocket at Oshkosh and the card was accidently pulled out at the same time.
I will say I was happy with the AvMap. I like the clarity and size of the screen along with ease of use. The only issue I had was the toggle button had to be pushed in one of the directions extremely hard for it to move the cursor.
