Jay,

Sorry, I don't buy any of that.

- Sales of the 396 have virtually shut down Garmin's sales of 430s and 530s.
It is simply superior to their in-panel stuff, and far less expensive.

It's not certified, period. And that's a big deal!


- The 396 has virtually stopped sales of other aviation GPS makes.

In their dreams! Why would it? It is more capable than the others, but also WAY
more expensive.

- The 396's weather depiction and ease of use far exceed anything currently
available in corporate or airline service -- and costs tens of thousands
less -- so those guys are lining up to buy them, too.

See point one. I don't buy it.
