"Flying over the Grand Canyon with the GPSMAP 295"  

I bought a GARMIN GPSMAP 295 about a year ago. In that time, it has flown cross-country twice, navigated the Phoenix airspace countless times, and recently the Grand Canyon airspace. Flying over the canyon was a unique experience. Cluttered with restricted airspace, altitude requirements, and tight flight corridors for sightseeing, the Grand Canyon sectional was not a fun proposition. Fortunately, with my 295, I easily programmed in the corridor waypoints and followed the line from one magnificent spot to the next, successfully avoiding all restricted airspace. I could not imagine doing this flight without the help of my GARMIN! Thank you for making such a great product and for making general aviation a more enjoyable experience.

"GPSMAP 295 aids aerial photographer"  

I don't have a story quite yet. But I just bought the GARMIN GPSMAP 295, and I think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. I bought the 295 to help me navigate during some aerial photo flights I'll be doing this summer down in southern Ohio. I'm currently working on my second book about the Hopewell earthworks which were built about 2,000 years ago by native Americans. Some of these earthworks are geometrically shaped and are best viewed from the air because they are so huge. Some are several hundreds of acres in extent. Anyway, the 295 will be of tremendous use to me in locating these sites from the air and getting home safely. I especially like the lighted buttons and how the unit automatically switches to night mode. You guys thought of everything. What an absolutely wonderful piece of equipment. I hope you folks sell a million of 'em.
