At the Oshkosh 2005 Press Tent on Monday, Grant B. Farrell of Lowrance Avionics not only announced that Lowrance's hand-held GPS moving maps/WAAS receivers now include Terrain Awareness at no extra cost... but they are also offering to give customers rebates on older models of not only their own product, but also on any competing model of any hand-held/portable GPS unit. 

"Not only may customers who already own a Lowrance AirMap, AirMap 100 or AirMap 300 trade in their AirMap for a rebate letter of varying amounts towards the purchase of a new Lowrance AirMap," stated Mr. Farrell. "But, we're even going a step further. We will also give rebate letters to any customer who is willing to trade in any older model GPS unit of any manufacturer in towards the purchase of a new AirMap."

When asked why a customer should purchase Lowrance products over any of the competition Grant answered, "The main reason is the value you get for your dollar."

"You get everything you need to fly from here to California, or here to anywhere in the world, right from when you open the box," Farrell said. "You don't have to buy any additional components. Lowrance is all about value for your dollar."

"Five hundred bucks for a color moving map... That's a great deal."
