...
: Here are a few suggestions for the future Garmin GPS-596...
: - flat panel package, one-inch thick (max, including battery)
: - replaceable Li-ion battery pack; optional AA battery pack
: - a five-inch diagonal screen (as on the 530)
: - landscape or portrait viewing select
: - XM weather and radio
: - higher resolution
: - faster processor
: - ability to download text (NOTAM's, weather)


And a $1000 (1 AMU) price tag with weather for $15 a month...
