Has anyone seen either or both of these handheld units, the Bendix-King AV8OR or the Anywhere Map ATC? I'm looking for a small backup GPS and they both look nice, are about the same price, but I have not actually seen or played with either.
Thanks
-Mike

Subject: Air Box Mounting Plate
The last two times that I did my conditional inspection I found that my air box mounting aluminum plate was cracked.
The first time I made a new mounting plate and tried to eliminate as many stress risers as I could. But it cracked again.
This time I'm having a machine shop cut the rear hole behind the carburetor air intake (needed to clear the rear part of the carburetor) with a water cutting tool.
I'm hoping that a smoother cut will prevent stress risers.
Does anyone have any suggestions that may prevent the cracking?

Tom Velvick here in AZ was a beta tester for AV8OR unit. He has good
things to say about it. Here's a thread on VAF all about it with some
pic's from Tom.

I have the Anywhere Map ATC.
Not a bad unit. Before that I had the Lorwance 600C and I love it the screen is just to small for my 50 year old eyes. In fact it is still in the plane and used over in the right side every flight. If the Lorwance had WX or traffic I would have gone with the Lorwance 2000C. If they ever do get one of those features I will get it in a heart beat. The ATC is inexpensive and it works ok. I do not have WX yet and I hear they are Beta testing the traffic (which is what I really want). The best feature of the ATV in my view is you can update it almost every day for $115 a year or around $400 lifetime. do not think any one else comes close to that in price. The lorwance is $35 or so every update. The ATC does have its quriks but nothing real bad as far as I have seen so far. It did lock up on me once but only once and that might have been me pushing buttons to fast. If you are near SoCal you are welcome to check it out.
