Garmin is (was) usually pretty good at putting compelling features on their
products at a price that makes you bite your lip as you reach for your
wallet. The 495 seems out of character. Maybe they want their aviation
products to make your head spin from the dizzying number of versions like
thier Nuvi product line.

Its like pilot poker bragging rights. "Well, I have the 296", "Oh, I
have the 495, read'em and cry!".
