The 296 is a wonderful device. I enjoy it hugely, though I'm not sure
that I would have bought it if I had known that:

1) it would interfere with my radio transmissions (handheld Vertex)

2) on one occasion it would relocate one of my "saved" waypoints to
South America (imagine my surprise when I noticed that my home airport
was several thousand miles away and that it would take me 84 hours to
get home).

I fly low, so the terrain avoidance is indeed useful (radio towers on
hills). The moving map is the screen I most often use. It's brilliant.



I believe you can now download obstacles on the 196.
