"Jonathan Goodish" wrote 1--The 396 hasn't shipped yet, so no one knows how, or how well, it will work. Correct. But since the 396 is so close to the 296 in features/screen/size and since XM performance is well-known across multiple products and since the 396 owner's manual is on Garmin's website, for the purpose of this discussion we can make some fairly good educated assumptions about what its performance will be. 2--We do know that the 396 has a small and rather unimpressive display based on the specifications. Compared to a TabletPC or even a modern PDA, I'm not sure how much of a weather picture you're going to get on a Well considering that the 296 as it stands now offers terrain warnings more effective than the panel-mount MX20 or EX500, I think it is quite reasonable to conclude the 396 will be more than adequate to depict weather. -------------------- Richard Kaplan www.flyimc.com
