I kinda liked the top keyboard, good for lefties or righties. When I'm flying an R-22 helicopter i like it because I can hold it in my left hand and work the buttons. My right hand is busy with the cyclic. When I'm flying my airplane I usually use the right hand since I hold the yoke with the left. Best of both worlds.gahorn wrote:Bruce, the Garmin 195 is what I used to get to Wilmington, and is the unit which convinced me that GPS was in my future. But I hated the fact that in order to use the keyboard your hand blocked the view of the screen. Having the keybd on top of the screen seemed really illogical to me. Apparently Garmin also eventually came to the same conclusion, so the next model UP was the 196 which placed the keyboard out of the way (for right handed users.) Lefties must hate it (and most other units out there as well.)
