For systems using the WxWorx hardware, the receiver is the same, and the small patch antenna is the same (lousy performance inside the aircraft). However, Garmin designed and built their own receiver/antenna for the GPSmap 396 (and presumably GLD69) and the 396 reception is excellent in my experience. JKG |

I have been beta testing the 3.0 version and my strong impression is that these guys do care about quality. And the team has been in the flying business for a long time. IIRC they originally wrote the flight planner that Jeppesen now sells, then went off on their own to offer Golden Eagle via the DUATS relationship. Definitely not hobbyist stuff as another poster alleged CV to be. I wouldn't consider having developed the Golden Eagle software to be a strongly positive reference. Dave |

You sound like a flat lander. As someone that flys around the Sierra
foothills, I very much enjoy the back up of having terrain on my VFR GPS. I've had two occasions where ATC has vectored me towards a mountain and then forgot to turn me in night IMC (mountains). -Robert |
