Oshkosh seems to be the place where Garmin rolls out their latest and

From a software standpoint, there are probably lots of little features
that can be improved, but I cannot think of any big features that the
496 lacks...

Airways. Until they put airways in the GPS systems they will still be
just help tools. This is the same with the G1000. I still have to
carry all my charts and reference them often in flight.

There is hope. They have airways in the Mustang G1000 and ChartView
in the entire 2007 NAV III line and rumor has it the new software
(reportedly coming this month) for the rest of the NAV III line has
airways and chartview as well.

AFAIK you still need to carry the charts though.
