Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Got mine Feb 2011. It had an old database and Bendix King gave me a free update - no hassles. I tried two other units Quadra and iFly. AV8OR hand held was the best choice - least problems and most intuitive. Features important to me: Brighter screen, NMEA serial output for driving autopilots, terrain Vertical Profile View, faster satellite acquisition, easy to add standard WxWorx receiver.
I never use a GPS yoke mount. I mounted it on the panel for better and steadier touch control. Or you can use the suction cup mount to attach to aircraft windscreen. But I think that a cheap Nuvi suction mount is better geometry. With little RTV silicon adhesive its easy to attach the Nuvi bracket to the AV8OR holding bracket - just cut the Nuvi bracket excess off.
I find the car navigation feature irrelevant on all those aviation handhelds. Why take a $600+ unit that could be stolen when a $99 car GPSs are much better at it - and navigation is frequently built into newer cars.
