Group,

I have used 4 different Garmins over the past 10 or so years and never

had a problem. My current one hardly uses batteries, and even if I

would run out of batteries, I can plug it in and run it off the

engine's battery.

I don't have room in my Kolb for a laptop, but if I did, I might carry

one for cross countries. Here is the reason: The government now sells

digital sectionals on DVD's. The western United States costs about $13

and last spring I used it to plan my trip to MV. I have a $30 program

on my computer that, with the Garmin plugged in, will show my position

on the sectionals. My Garmin does not have an aviation database. So,

for just the cost of the digital sectionals, I have most of what

aviation GPS's provide on a much larger screen. And I save hundreds of

dollars by not buying an aviation GPS and keeping it updated.

John,

Are you using the Bata version of the Garmin nRoute?

I have been using this one frequently on ground trips with laptop and use

the built-in through my Garmin supported but no longer sold emap. The rubber

banding on the e-map sucks for ground turn to turn routing but is perfect

for air. I also have added the Mapsource program with U.S. Roads and

Recreation on it. In using the MApsource with it's continued updating from

Garmin. I now can plot on screen any trip I've taken, any point in the trip,

any attitude any Lat/Lon, any speed. This is one of the neatest devices I

have ever owned and is all the better in the air. It also has all the

airports located on it at no additional cost.

Do not archive
