Well considering that the 296 as it stands now offers terrain warnings more
effective than the panel-mount MX20 or EX500, I think it is quite reasonable
to conclude the 396 will be more than adequate to depict weather.


I never said anything about not being adequate, but there is a
difference between "adequate" for weather display and "practical" for a
big picture view. For tactical applications, it probably won't be much
of a problem. For strategic purposes, not as practical as WxWorx or a
VGA PDA.
