I'm relieved to hear it. I've never updated my 296. I let the free one
slip by because I thought USB II was different somehow from the USB
port on my puter, and I've never felt inclined to pay for an update.

One caveat: before I updated, my GPS was old enough that I had to look up
the old ids for some airports which changed to ICAO identifiers when they
started reporting METAR. So I'd flight plan to KOGS, but put N00 into the
GPS.
