Garmin 496 PIREP -- Navigating while Driving
Jay Honeck wrote:
Okay, so it's not quite aviation related, but we DID use the 496's capability today to navigate by road to Blakesburg -- the annual AAA (Antique Aircraft Association) fly-in. snip Jay, is there a service that provides periodic updates to the 496's road and food service database? If so, how is this done and what does this cost? I'm not sure, but I presume that is updated at the same time that you purchase the Jeppesen updates? The street maps and businesses/etc. (called POIs) are part of Garmin's CityNavigator software. Updates come out annualy each summer and currently cost $75. Garmin gets the street data from NavTeq which also supplies most of the other automotive navigation makers.
