Default Garmin 296/396 Terrain Data

And about $1000 to get someone who is "certified" to take it up there

and install it.

Fortunately, that wasn't part of MY job description! G Although
you will appreciate that one time a "friend" talked me into helping him
take down a couple of hundred feet high ham-band Yagi in a fairly stiff
wind. We were fairly securely attached, and it was *probably* safer
than it felt, but that thing swaying back and forth with us on top,
trying to unbolt the antenna (we were taking the array, not the mast),
was a feeling I will never forget. [And hopefully, never experience
again. G]
