Hi Folks, I was wondering if anybody had any advise on which of the current batch of aviation GPS's are worth looking at to buy. The Garmin Aera 500 / 550 series seem to be pretty good according to reviews I have read. The 550 is a bit on the expensive side - getting very near the €1,000 mark. Has a...

Hi buggyB and Jim,

I don't know the Roscommon area, but the plane is parked infront of a 'Manor Style' house which sits back in off the road, just opposite Hannon's Hotel on the Athlone road. (Just when you are leaving the Roscommon Town 60km zone).

Cheers,
