It's Official, the GPSMAP 496

I'm cheap, too. That's why I have an $800 Lowrance Airmap 2000c. I am
quite happy with it, even if it doesn't have XM. It has everything
else! (Taxi diagrams, terrain awareness, all of the accessories and
software, reasonable support) I cannot justify at all spending nearly
US$3000.00 for a GPS, unless it was made of solid gold. Hell, the 296
at $1500 is out of my price range.

Probably true, but I'm a gadget freak, as you know!!!

Yes, well, I'm a gadget freak but I'm also cheap, so that pretty much
results in perpetual conflict for me. When the 596 or whatever comes
next rolls along, I'm probably going to need some type of therapy!
