An Opinion:
Lowrance,
We like your little Airmap 600C handheld, and your controls and aviation software are pretty good, too. You're a much better value than Garmin. On the other hand, what medication were you on when you dreamed up the 2000C tablet-style portable?! The 2000C's form factor is terrible, and the poor resolution display (320x240 pixels) is a bad joke. We know that you have marine units similar in form factor to AvMap's Geopilot and Garmin's 296/396/496 series; why didn't you adopt one of your marine units? Yes, the marine units are a little too wide for a standard avionics rack, but they would still be better for aviation use than the 2000C.
How about introducing a 2000C replacement at Oshkosh 2008?! The new unit would have the form factor of the AvMap Geopilot II, a 5-inch screen, and at least a 640x420 pixel resolution. Then, YOU would be "King of the Aviation Portable Hill;" not Garmin or AvMap!
Happy New Year!
