The 500 and 400 series don't save a track for downloading. The 396 and
496 do.


Thanks, does it have some kind of common connector? USB maybe, or
bluetooth?

296, 396, 496, inexpensive Garmin to USB cable available from Garmin or
its dealers. The best bet is TVNAV.COM

Thanks.

I've got an old yellow etrex, I could try that. I'm a CFII flying with a
guy that has
a 530W and a 496 in the aircraft. I didn't see a USB on the 496, so like you
said, it apparently requires a cable. It would be nice to display the actual
ground track after rooting around in the clouds for an hour.
