[QUOTE="Uncle Hud, post: 1296662, member: 29492"] I'll need to digest this a bit, but it seems like a re-hash on the tablet-based cockpit concept discussed a year ago .... It's interesting to me because I am not confident in Garmin's route selection algorithms. As an example, during a 800-mile weekend last month, the Garmin TWICE directed me to exit the freeway, then go straight across and get back on. WTF??? Under what selection criteria would that be a better route? Another reason to jettison my Garmin is the ease of using Google Maps to prepare routes vs BaseCamp. To be fair, I've not really put in the effort to master BaseCamp, but Google is intuitive and I've gotten rather adept at using it. Of course, the limitation of Google is cellular reception, while the Garmin uses GPS satellites which are available anywhere you have a clear view of the sky. [/QUOTE]
