I recently purchased a Garmin 215D chart plotter and at first look it's
a pretty wonderful device. Osprey also has an old SeaTek Loran that
works well. However, the interface and functionality are so poor
(relative to the Garmin) that I'm dumping it. I have a small handheld
aircraft GPS that can serve as backup. That said, I'm hoping that the
Loran system continues as I have a decent database Loran in my airplane
that I'd like to continue using.
