I think I paid $400 for the "auto kit" for the 196. I'd say it's marginal
utility for that price. I like it as an aviation GPS, and it's OK in the

car,

too, but not worth the extra $400 I paid for the car kit.


List is $349. MAP is $299. I paid $269 at Avionics West.

OK, my memory is probably incorrect. ...but isn't Garmin notorious for
controlling the price of its products? How do you get a discount? I thought I
shopped around, but obviously I missed something. All the places I shopped had
virtually the same price (but obviously I don't remember what price I paid).
