Garmin charges $35 additional for it. I am uploading it to my 196 right now

That makes it twice the price to keep it current.

Jeppesen doesn't provide obstacle data. The digitial obstacle database is
maintained by NACO.

I downloaded and installed the 4.00 firmware and the $35 obstacle database. I
don't know what to look for, but I didn't see any different behavior when I flew
with it. OTOH, I didn't spend a lot of effort looking. Does someone know what
specifically I should be looking for?
