Jim Rainer is an unknown quantity at this point
GPS Systems

Don't forget the interface needed as mentioned above.

One other comment on the Apollo GX60 (no one has mentioned it but me.) It has a wonderful COM unit built-in like the Garmin 300 BUT buried deep in the pages of the STC is the fact that the COM is not IFR approved for primary IFR communication. I have a KX155 for my 2nd COM and when it is out of the airplane, I can't legally fly IFR using the GX60. I've never pursued the reason why with the UPS/Apollo folks but it's there. I have no idea if any other GPS/COM units have the same restriction on primary IFR COM use. I didn't know this until 3 years into using the unit but I would probably have bought it anyway.

Definitely something to check into.
