Wouldn't a single Garmin handheld that has the psuedo gyro panel do all of that, at less cost, and about 50 pounds less weight? And less cost, in total, too?

With the compass, DG, and two Garmin 96Cs, I have four instruments for telling heading from the other way and one to tell me which side is up and so four to tell me if I'm headed up or down. I hope I've got it covered. Soon to have two glove box doors for the art deco look as well. Jim Beach Brennan
