Thanks gentlemen. Very helpful. The 396 is obviously a marvelous tool

Don't know if I'll wait for the 496 or not-wonder what the changes will
be.

Why wait? The 396 is fairly new. Every time Garmin's come out with a new
model, I've traded up. Never had a bit of trouble selling the old one.

I love the 396. The wx capabilities make it an awesome cross country tool.
