Bob,

Garmin has a beta version of new firmware for the 296 that eliminates
several of the complaints I had. I'm waiting until it's out of beta before
trying it.

Thank you Jon for writing your review and to you others that replied.
I'll probably order one, but it has dropped down a notch on the
priority list. Although come to think of it, I have some long XC's
coming up that it would be nice to have....
