I've got nearly 5 years and 650 hours on my trusty Garmin 496 mounted in the panel with a Gizmo device. Maybe it's the Christmas season find ways to spend money thing, but over the weekend I got the urge to investigate upgrading the 496 to something else. I'm clueless as to what the best something else might be. Spent many, many hours determining initial avionics configuration - which has proven to be very successful. Will spend a lot more time analyzing upgrade options.
However, sloth, laziness, awareness of VAF opinionated expertise, just because I can - drives me to ask the question: Anyone have opinions/comments/experience/lessons learned moving up from a 496 to a current panel-mounted GPS? Realize I'll have to cut the panel - but have almost a phobia about doing so.
