The big avionics houses have all dropped the price of the Garmin 396
by $300.00. Last time this happened the 295 was in vogue and the 296
was introduces. Not long after, the 296 price dropped and the 396 was
released, all while Garmin denied everything. It only stands to
reason that I heard there's a new Garmin portable due at Oshkosh.
Someone in the know mentioned the "496" and it will have a larger
screen and built in Bluetooth to eliminate the XM wires. Anyone hear
such a thing?
