A couple of days ago I posted this link

but have not received any answers. Does anybody know or use this product? If not, what do more experienced pilots think about it after having read the spec sheet, pricing etc.?
Unfortunately, the eastern database (europe, asia…) is not as complete as the western, (the americas). Apparentely, it will take another 4-6 months to catch up with you guys.
I’d appreciate some opinions on what I think is a very interesting piece of technology and WAY cheaper than anything else available today.
Cheers,

Placido -
I went to the web page and looked at the products. You asked for opinions from experienced pilots - not sure I qualify but do have 500 hrs with over half of those in a Bonanza A36 and an IFR rating (current).
My reaction to this is the same as my reaction to all whiz-bang stuff I see today. I have an SR20 ordered (Contract # 535). Will get a “C” model and all options that are available - just can’t get excited about any other aircraft toys since I will have the best available in my opinion.
If I was not a future Cirrus pilot(BTW - delivery date letter arrived today: original February, 2002 pushed to September, 2002 with only SR22s produced from now until August, 2001), this gadget would have serious interest from me for the 1974 A36. Looks very good.

Hello Placido,
Yes, I have it and I use it on a Casio E-125. It is a great piece of information all contained in a small PDA. I normally fly a small biz jet that only has a small moving map King 9000, the Anywhere software is much better. I would recommend it. I use a Garmin Pilot III as the GPS. If you have any more questions, drop me an email. Have a great Cirrus day.

Thanks for your answers.
I have a Garmin 295 right now, which suits my needs today. It’s heavy like a brick though and it can’t be upgraded. So, since the eastern database is not as complete as the western one I’ll wait for the catch up, by that time most probably the Garmin 295 looks like old technology and changing to a more flexible platform could become a good option.
Thanks again,
Placido

Placido,
Ready for the good news…
You boat anchor (295) will do just find, the program has it’s own data base, it is only using the 295 for lat/longs and altitude, everything else comes from the software. You only have to turn your 295 on then keep it under the seat. Was that good or what? Have a great Cirrus day.

Woor,
it adds too much weight to an already useful load starved airplane. I’ve got to find a lighter solution
