My portable GPS is the Garmin 96c. It has the approaches in the
database. Pull up an approach and it asks if you will do the full
approach or get vectors. It draws the final approach course and all
intersections on the map. The final approach course extends to
infinity, you always know where it is. What more could you want?

1. Does it display all that heading-up? Other units I've seen would only
display the approach north-up, which sucks if you're landing on runway 18. I
have not seen the 96c.

2. Does it offer any vertical guidance?
2b. Does anyone think the VNAV provided by a handheld, WAAS-enabled GPS of
any kind is worth *anything*?

3. Does it draw holding patterns?

Best,
