Greetings all and thanks in advance for any advice.
I fly a basic -4, VFR only and currently use an old handheld Garmin GPS. Last year, after tumbling my 2nd AI, I installed a D10A.
I'm now looking at options to use the HSI feature and my current GPS unit will not drive it.
I do not need approach plates, maps and many of the other features of the 696/796 lineup, nor do I have the panel space.
That said, which of the smaller units work best to provide this capability and which do you recommend? Garmin 296, 396, 496, others? I've not used these units and would appreciate any input regarding their appropriateness/pros/cons in this role.
Thanks,
Patrick
