I would like some opinions on this. If an RV is currently flying equipped with a 10" G3X Touch with dual GTR 20 comms and a GTN 625, and I happen to have brand new GTN 650's and GTN 750's in the box at the hangar, would it be worth it to swap one out with the GTN 625 and add a rabbit ears NAV antenna? There is work required either way and the 650 wouldn't require any panel work, just wiring. During the swap one of the GTR 20's would be removed.
Aside from the fact that the 750 has a larger screen with more information displayed along with full keyboard interface, the real question I am asking is this: How important are the the terrestrial-based VOR/ILS navigation signals in your real life operations? Especially when considering a flying aircraft with an existing 625 already in place and not a in-progress project prior to equipment purchasing.
For what it's worth I live near a DOD test site and it is not uncommon to loose GPS when they are jamming its signal (many times sans NOTAM).
