GMX 200
Fast & reliable. I use an E-Flybook for back up. It has its own battery, so even if I had an extremely bad day and lost both gens, I can power off the GMX 200 and use the E-Fly book for an approach. The E-Fly book is incredibly slow though.
If I could do it different, I probably would have put in dual GMX 200's. The GMX 200 displays everything, weather, radar, nexrad, enroute charts (for reference only, not for navigation), approach charts (both as an overlay or normal), TCAS, Enhanced GPWS, and winds aloft. It just can't do any two things at once. I think it would be quite handy if I could display the aircraft's weather radar at the same time I'm displaying an approach plate.
Ohh...forgot the negative...the charts come from Jeppesen and Jepp can't figure out how to make their software compatible with Vista.
