I'm in the market for a backup battery powered handheld GPS for current use in my C182RG (backup of dual Garmin 430's) and for later use in my SFS/UPS equipped Legacy when it is completed. I have considered the simple Garmin 295. I also like the idea of a PDA (IPAQ) equipped with the AnyWhere Map software, or better yet, the AnyWhere WX software with NEXRAD images (www.anywheremap.com ). The last choice I have considered is the Echo (http://www.echoflight.com )system. The echo is about 6k, quite expensive. The Anywhere WX/IPAQ is gonna be about 3750, Anywhere MAP/IPAQ is about 1400, and Garman 295 is about 1500. Any suggestions or experiences with any of this, namely the Echo and AnywhereMap? --- Shannon Knoepflein <---> kycshann@kyol.net
