I have used the 195 & 295. Now I own the 196. So far the 196 is the best
of the bunch in my opinion. Yes the color is cool, but the processor speed of the 195 & 295 is to slow. When it comes to using the cursor on screen or just moving from 1 page to another the 196 is very fast. Now when I use a 195 ro 295 I really notice the speed difference. I would not give up my 196 for a 295, but I will sure take a look at the 296 when it comes out. Dale (FFZ-AZ) "carlos" wrote in message ... I'm in the market for a moving-map aviation GPS, and trying to decide between Garmin's color 295 and their grayscale 196. The 196 is a newer model, has a better screen and more functions, but the 295 offers a color screen. (Why Garmin doesn't offer a color 196, I don't understand. They already offer the 176C, which is a marine version of the 196 in color - Does anyone know why????). So, is there anyone with experience with both GPSs (the 295 and 196)? Any comments? Recommendations? Thanks, CGP.

Do you know which of these, if any, will record tracks in 3D (i.e. including
altitude). I believe none of the Lowrance units (including the new Airmap 500 and Airmap 1000) can do this. Thanks! John Clonts Temple, Texas N7NZ "Dale" wrote in message ...
