Fair question -- convenience, mostly. it's a combination of things.
Primarily the display -- the radar and satellite pictures are
full-screen and animated.

As are web based pics on the Treo. If they aren't then you need to get
into your browser settings and change it.


Another factor is convenience -- it's all in
one place,

So are mine. They are bookmarks on the Treo. There is also a much
faster way to get METAR's and TAF's. Send a text message to either
or If you want more than one report
separate your stations with a space. Remeber the limits of text
messaging. You can also send an email to the same addresses and get an
unlimited amount of data.

But not nearly as conveniently as a Garmin 396.

True, as I said, I will probably cancel my subscription when I pony up
the major $ to get a 396 (or the next gen, if it does traffic alerts..)
Until then...

Yeah, but I establish a route once and get all products relating to it.
It's a time-saver. I'm sure to some extent it's a matter of personal
preference.

Cheers,
Wiz
