"One GPS for all my applications"
10/10/2009 by DAP Imaging, Inc in Florida
I´m pleased with the AV80R so far. The only improvement necessary is get rid of the supplied yoke mount, junk! Secures the GPS poorly, yoke clamp gets in the way of my cessna flight instruments and is way too over sized.
I purchased a RAM mount for $54, which works great.
Wake up Bendix/King, your customers are talking. Fix it.

EXCELLENT product! No need for HSI; XTX error shown in box on left side; just scroll down the first four boxes..besides, STAY ON THE MAGENTA Line and you´ll always be on course!
Very user-friendly GUI.
Good job, Bendix-King!

This unit holds promise, but until it has a real navigation screen (HSI), it will be a fancy plaything.
Incorporate HSI and the other GPS cats will be a faint memory in the marketplace.

"Good Unit"
8/20/2008 by Ross in Illinois
Purchased at OSH this year. I love the land features. Easy to use touch screen which has large data input keyboard. The air mode is good too. Compared to my Lowrance 2000C the screen is much smaller. I like the mini-EFIS of the Lowrance as opposed to the side data of the AV8OR. I am waiting for my XM receiver to try the Weather feature. I am planning for this unit to compliment my 2000C in the cockpit.
