I've had mine since sun and fun and like it a lot. I bought the air
gizmo mount for the panel and remove it a lot for terrestrial travel. The
only squawks are the batteries (4 aa) are For backup only as they only last
about an hour. And the memory chip is 500 meg only big enough for the air
database with terrain. If you want to add highway info from the discs you
have to swap chips or buy a bigger one.
Strong points are the runway extensions and the terrain features.
Also menu navigation is easy to master.

I have been using my 2000C for over a year and the only problem I have is sometimes when I turn it on, it lights up but the screen has lines and is not usable. I have to pull the batteries out and then reboot it sometimes two or three times before it will work. Otherwise, I love it especially since I got the terrian chip just before fun and sun. I was told that you can buy a larger memory card and send both it and the new terrian chip back to lorrance and they will put the terrain on your larger chip, or is is an option to get a larger chip. You have to upgrade to the 1.4 version system.

It's the smaller MMC chip. Theres no need to send the card to lowrance to
have the software transferred as the files are easily moved around with
windows. I've seen 2gig cards for 89$. Which should be plenty. The entire
aviation database with terrain is 500 meg and I just mapped the northeast
from ky to ny and it took 500 meg with all points of interest so 200 meg
will get probably do east or west us terrestrial with complete aviation
info.

I just had a panel-mount (GPS155XL) installed in my Skylane, so I'm going
to sell my 2000C. It is essentially new, only powered up at home for
checkout. It has never been in a plane. It has the Terrain card with it.
The database is expired since I haven't been using it.
Any offers?

Have you tried Lithium AA batteries
in the 2000C ? They might last quite a bit longer
in an emergancy power failure.
