This is more an operational question, than a electrical one, so here ya go:
I have been pondering GPS units, the Garmin KLN90 series is available on the open market from 400.00 and up, really reasonable price for a formerly top of the line unit. The Garmin 696 series is another option, all though a slightly more expensive route starting at about 1300.00. I know that they are different, with completely different mission philosophies. I have a Dynon D100 for the new panel, and whichever unit I get, I would like to slave to the Dynon HSI. After flying glass for the last couple of decades round gauges don't feel like home, I know what a wimp! I am anticipating using a GPS for nav about 50% of the time, so nothing is clear, mission wise, I am waiting till the dead of winter to do anything so this is an academic discussion. Just wondering what the seasoned GA hands think.
Thanks
Eric
