Default Anywhere Map WX vs Garmin 396

Well the PocketFMS database update every don't know how often is free. To
be come a donor is US$60. This is about as good as it gets and it's a great
package. They don't have wx (yet).

I looked at the Anywhere product, but couldn't get a response from the
company to a couple of simple questions. The PFMS team get back right away.

YMMV,
Cheers,
Kevin

I've owned AnywhereMap for about four years and am quite satisfied with
it. It's been reliable and the newest version is tight on all the most
important features. I do not currently have weather on it but would
like to add that soon.

Did you know that the 28-day update subscription on database changes is
only $95 per year for AnywhereMap? Nobody I know comes anywhere near
that. If I owned a Garmin or Lowrance, I might not be willing to pay
the three or four times that amount per year to keep the database up to
date.

in the Garming 396. No doubt it is a fine system with great features.

Why don't I hear anyone talking about the AnywhereMap WX, which seems to
have a roughly equivalent feature set for $800-$1,000 less up front cost?

Thoughts?

Anyone own (or borrow) an AnywhereMap WX and care to comment?
