The AirGizmos Panel Dock was designed to securely hold your Garmin 196, 296, 396, or 496 portable GPS. It fits nicely in a standard 6.25" avionics stack. It allows you to quickly remove your portable GPS from your plane for upgrades, flight planning, or for use in your car or boat. It is also a safe way to use your portable GPS, as it is securely held in the panel at all times. The Panel Dock is shipped with a set of mounting hardware necessary for attaching it to an avionics stack. If you intend to install it in a different way, use the included hardware as a reference when deciding what type of installation hardware you will need. Click Here to Download Specs (PDF) |

Good quality build - flawless in fact, all mounting hardware supplied. I was surprised to find the face wasn't perfectly flat to allow a true flush-mount. Only 4 stars because the price is a little higher than it needs to be for a plastic shell, even though the quality is great.
