Jack, If you're refering the the Garmin GPSIII, yes. I bought one from Bass Pro Shop about three years ago for around $360. It works great. But my advice is, if you're buying it for the moving map don't bother. I did and I've found I never use the map. Don't get me wrong, it's a good map but I've found that if you use the navigation page showing the bearing to the station, speed, ETE that's all you really need. I As for the tracking speed, they say it'll track to 600MPH but since the C150 I was flying could only get up to about 105 that's all I can attest to. (Some day I'm gonna strap JATO bottles, about 8 of 'em, to that 150 and then I'll know for sure.) Anyway, it's a pretty good unit and easy to use (for the most part). I did need to get some help from a factory rep at Oshkosh to show me how to trun off the "bread crumb" feature. Everytime you go somewhere it leaves a dashed line to show where you came from. I had dashed lines all over the map. It'll store up to 500 way-points and the can be entered by keying them in or, if you're at the place (like and airport) just push the enter key and then give the way-point a name. Simple, really.

I would like to hear how it works. I watched the video and it looked impressive, for $395. Was wondering how the database worked with airports.
