How about "ALMOST everything!" When I got my Airmap 300 at the AOPA Convention
last October, it had dead batteries and no way to charge the Ni-MH battery until
we got back to the plane in two days hence. I had no way of learning how to use
it before the trip home. What it was lacking is the AC adapter. The next day at
the show, the kind folks at Lowrance gave me fresh batteries and I found an AC
adapter at another vendor.

The AC adapter lets me do a lot of flight planning on the GPS at the house with
bearings and distances. It also lets me charge the battery pack before flying.
(Some of the rentals at our FBO do not have the cigarette adapter connected.)

But like the man from Lowrance said, the AC adapter does not fit in the case.
