The 496 is now down to $2,395 for many stores. Since the vendors need an
OK from Garmin to do this, it may mean a new one on the horizon... Anyone
know more info?

There has been a persistent rumor of a 596 in the works. Other than a

I'm still holding out for drag and drop weather control where you put a
cursor over the weather that is in your way and then do a mouse drag to move
the weather clear of your flight path. ;-)

That works well until the 15 guys that are flying where you moved the
weather to move it back to your flight path.
