Okay, so it's not quite aviation related, but we DID use the 496's
capability today to navigate by road to Blakesburg -- the annual AAA
(Antique Aircraft Association) fly-in.

Jay, is there a service that provides periodic updates to the 496's road
and food service database? If so, how is this done and what does this
cost?

I'm not sure, but I presume that is updated at the same time that you
purchase the Jeppesen updates?
