It's another reason to get the Garmin 396 or even the 296 with terrain.

For navigation and situational awarenes there is no difference between a
296 and 396.

If a person wants to keep the 296/396 database current they should buy
the annual subscriptions to both the Jeppesen and obstacle databases.

Perhaps this seems pricy to renters but it shouldn't be for an owner,
less he/she is underfunded. ;-)
