I've used my Garmin 296 in the airplane for several years now and
love it.
In the Automotive Mode, it will show major interstate highways
etc but want
more detail in the major cities. I would like to buy the "Auto
Navigation Kit"
from Garmin that contains the 128mb data card, City Navigator CD
etc and
install it in my Garmin 296 but I am somewhat concerned that it
may cause
problems with the entire unit or in the aviation mode.


I have a 396 and the Auto Navigation Kit. It works very well, and does
not interfere with the aviation capabilities. I leave the 128MB data
card in the unit all the time, and it is only used when in automotive
mode.

A small side benefit to the City Select maps is that they will show many
airport surface diagrams if you switch to auto mode and then zoom in.
The taxiway layouts aren't labeled, but at least it will show you where
you're at on the airport surface.
