If yo know of an aviation portable that comes anywhere near the PRICE

All I'm trying to say is that a maximum of features is not the only
thing to consider. Display size and resolution, for example, matter,
too. Price as well, for some.

Thomas, I think you're missing the point. The point is, if you want the
features that the Garmin 396 has to offer--namely XM weather--you have
only one choice, which is the Garmin 396. If you want those features,
the cost of the unit is well worth the investment.

I will also point out that while the AirMap 2000c has a larger screen,
it is a lower resolution screen when compared to the Garmin 296/396.
