Default Garmin 596 Ideas


"Jay Honeck" wrote

I now know why they use the dinky little screen on the 496 -- anything
bigger won't fit on the dashboard of most cars. Garmin is trying to
make the unit do double (or, with marine, triple) duty, to the
detriment of the aviation mode.


I wonder if Garmin will come out with a new software, or if someone will
make a hack - to make it work in portrait mode, for aviation.
