GPS units

[skyflea73]

Can anyone recommend a good GPS that shows the class of airspace your in while flying? I am looking for a GPS I can mount on the instrument panel of a Magni M16 trainer. One that wont break the bank and wont take up half the dash space.  ???

I use a Garmin 195 and it has this feature. Kinda big and pricey though.... I have a friend who has a Airmap 100 that also has this feature and it is a good bit smaller. He wants to sell it and he has many extras that go with it. He wants 225.00$ plus shipping. Let me know if you want it. I sold it to him and I know it works great and is in like new shape.

Darren,<br><br>Thats a great deal on an aviation GPS. &nbsp;I use a magellan 315 with an aviation database, but it does NOT show airspace. &nbsp;You need a true aviation GPS like the airmap 100 for that. <br><br>Todd

I use a Garmin III pilot $499 all day at Sporty's or Aircraft Spruce. &nbsp;It won't give you airspace (that I know of) but it gives me everything most folks would need like Roads, airports, private fields as well as frequecies. &nbsp;Hell of a deal for the money IMHO. &nbsp;Small enough to take on a gyro or in a Cessna. &nbsp;I use lithium batteries and she hasn't let me down yet. &nbsp;It also does VOR, NDB, distance, ETA speed and Direction Arrows on two choices of flight windows.<br><br>I love mine-<br>

I have the garmin pilot 3. &nbsp;It shows the airspace. &nbsp;Hardly would be an aviation gps if it didn't. &nbsp;It even warns you when you are just outside the airspace by showing on the screen &quot;attention approaching class C airspace in 4 minutes&quot; or whatever. &nbsp;It is a nice piece of equipment. &nbsp;Screen is a little small but it packs a lot of power.<br><br>I used it to drive from florida down to BD. &nbsp;I didn't know the way to the airport in the middle of all the oranges... but it showed me I was going the right way and how far out..... &nbsp;jtm

The Garmin pilot 111 is one of the smallest and a very good GPS.<br><br>If you wish to spend a little bit more money and have something very useful look at the Anywheremap system using the new Ipac 2210 and a wireless antenna by Socket.<br><br>That will give you not only the most advanced GPS in production but also a full personal computer that will do just about everything your desk top PC will.<br><br>www.anywheremap.com<br><br>Fot International ferry flights I use three GPS units. Two Anywheremap's with Ipacs and one Airmap 300.<br><br>That of course is overkill but &nbsp;I am a firm beliver in redundancy.<br><br>Chuck E.

I am using a $99 Magellan 310. &nbsp;It does not show airspace, but I don't need that feature. &nbsp;I programmed in all the airfields within 100 miles of my home airport, and that's all I need. &nbsp;I know that the Denver class B airspace covers 30 miles from DIA and I know there is one class D airspace 60 miles north, and that's all I need to know.<br><br>I don't need any redundancy because I don't fly IFR, and even if my GPS fails I can always use VORs and good old pilotage.<br><br>This unit is rugged and can take a lot of beating.<br><br>Udi<br>

I use a Garmin 295 in my gyro it came out of my piper when I sold it, If I did not have it I would use the &quot;Anywhere Map&quot; it is the smallest in size and it can do everything, If cost matters look for a used one on ebay or at a local airport or even the companys in Trade-a-plane sell re-cons, used are great becouse you can get all the updates you need right on line.

[joeheli]

Are the magellan 2000,and 4000 are good GPS? What is the difference one from a nother? ???

I decided I wanted the &quot;SporTrak Pro&quot;. I just bought one yesterday on eBay.
