Let's be fair here,....

I think when the dust was at it's highest, my reply, page 1 bottom, sums it all up nicely

R6270 incl

That's not all

If you buy now

For a meager R2154 you also get Garmap and 64M memory

Just came back from Lanseria bought the 196. The colour display is nice :) but not R5700 worth nicer :shock: I'm sure once the 396 hit our shores the 296 will drop in price like the 196 did :( By the way couldn't wait :oops: so had it on automotive all the way back from FALA (Boys and their "cheap" ...

Please elaborate

If there is one thing I'm terrified of in flying it is mountains and ridges

Even the Magalies ridge is like crossing the Drakensberg for me

I'm at least 500'+ when I cross over the top

and my trusty old hiking boots on my feet

And here I wish I had that reliable 4-stroke 912 in my airy

Sorry no superstitions about flying

:?: I know a lot has been said about this :oops: I have narrowed my decision to 4 models: Garmin 196, 296, Lowrance 1000 or 2000 The R4k for the color screen seems excessive from 196 to 296, unless there are other very important features that has not been told to me :? How prepared are the Lowrance ...

Added 5.5 hrs to the log book :D this weekend
