I have a friend who is a pilot. He takes his in the plane with him, too. Says it works great. I think it's a C550.
Very good point.
That’s why the “test drive”.
Audible vs. Non-Audible in a city like Arlington VA might be quite critical to the decision.

C550 ? What could he possibly do with a handheld/portable?
That screen in the middle of this “base" C550 is more GPS/map then he could ever carry onboard. He must just like having all the extra gizmos around. Many pilots do. Nothing wrong with back-up to the back-ups back-up, I guess.
