Great map display.
Cons
I did not find the controls to be intuitive. It definitely helps to read the book and use it frequently.
General Comments
A wonderful unit if you use it enough to remember how to run it.

Pros
Very large display. Easy to see. Good airport information. Terrain is nice. Easy to navigate with once everything is setup.
Cons
Menus are not intuitive at all. It can be a little clumsy in your lap and without a built in GPS antenna you end up with cords strewn about the plane. Alerts are completely useless if you fly in/around complex airspace. I would like to see approach plates, complete airport diagrams, etc in the database.
General Comments
For the price this is a very good device.

EXCELLENT product!! One of the best out there for the dollar! Can't wait until the XM Weather feature is available (coming very soon)! Large screen, versatile, and easy to use. Excellent back up for IFR and VFR operations.
Cons
If you want to keep it updated, you will have to pay for the Jeppesen updates. Not exactly the most cost efficient thing, but it is one of those evils in life that sometimes you can't get around.
General Comments
Would def. recommend this product over the Garmin or any other like it within the market.

Pros
The product has a huge screen with all the information that you could expect for a VFR flight. The panel mount makes it easy to use and makes it accessable to both pilots.
Cons
The controls are not intuitive and the manual is useless. The product was developed in Italy and the manual written by Italian 'geeks' in Italian English ... not user friendly at all.
General Comments
The American distributor is very helpful. In fact, they have written their own 'quick-start' manual ... in American English ... and are available by phone to answer questions when you're sitting in the plane and just don't know what to do next.

That�s a Wonderful product.
I love his BIG screen.
I have had an issue with the "steering knob", he fell down.
I have been in contact with the commercial office in US.
Everybody in AvMap are really helpful.
They fixed the issue so quickly.
Cons
Can't download a flight plan from Jeppesen Internet Flight planner.
But it seems that you can use Jeppesen Navsuite.
General Comments
Unfortunately they don't have the weather available.
Perhaps soon????
It should be great if it was possible to link to an avoidance system.
