With the difficulty of map reading in the Piet I think I willneed to invest in one. I also have noticed that I fly the Piet at about300 - 500 feet instead of 1000-2000 feet in the Tri-Pacer. At thelower altitude it only takes about 30 seconds to get lost - even whenI'm flying in my well traveled area.This is off topic for the list so probably reply to me if you have aGPS pirep for me.~ktm________________________________________________________________________________

Contact Art Penner at: "art Penner(at)sympatico.co" , for a gps report. He has a panasonic hand held with no moving map, just co-ordinates. It was working fine for him in his C-172 untill the owners of the plane splurged and bought a moving map one.His panasonic unit was less than $300.00.Regards,Domenico Bellissimo ----------________________________________________________________________________________
