Default Garmin 430 / 530 and 396 / 496

In a word, yes.

The plan displayed on the 430/530, including approach procedures
is copied onto the 396.

And the 396 display is better than the 530.

When folks ask 530 vs 430, my response is always 430+396 or 496.
Better overall functionality, lower total cost.


Bill, does the 396/496 recognize the fixes being fed from the 430? I ask
because I tried importing a route into my 496 and it created all user
waypoints. I'm planning on doing the integration next month regardless but
I'm curious.

Thanks,

Marco
