Garmin 496 - TAWS any good for Europe
Peter,
I am wondering whether the European terrain database is any good. First, the nitpick ;-) It is not TAWS, but a terrain database. TAWS is something certified. Second: Both the units from Garmin (296 and up) and those from Lowrance (Airmap 600c and 2000c) come in a European/International version with the corresponding terrain. The 496 also offers a European obstacle databse, which not all other units have. The Airmaps, OTOH, are easier to use in both Europe and the US, if that is your interest. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH)
