Default Garmin unveiling?

Oshkosh seems to be the place where Garmin rolls out their latest and
greatest products. Any speculation on what the next will be?


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... Exceptions would be integrated traffic or artificial
horizon, but those would require additional hardware components to be
added to the design, and that would not make it size effective.

Garmin's automotive GPS(s) now use touchscreen displays, so perhaps if
they announce a 596 it will have that.
