Garmin 96 Info
Considering replacing my 195 with the 96 or 96C. The Garmin website
claims 25 hours for the 96 or 40 hours for the 96C in, "battery saver mode." I find it curious that they claim longer life for the color unit. In my experience the color 295 sucks batteries much faster than a 195. What kind of battery life is realistic for normal use? How about the lock on without the remote mount antenna, any problems? Any other pros/cons? Thanks, - Brett |

Don't get rid of your 195!
Look at the screen size of the 96 verses the 195. The 96 is half the size. wrote: Considering replacing my 195 with the 96 or 96C.
