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
larger screen with a vertical orientation, I can't imagine what upgrades
are possible.

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.

They will have the 696 in another year. With it, you can just highlight
those 15 other guys and put 'em in pause mode...
