Maybe my math is rusty but it seems that the ETEs for the 130kt displays for
the 396 on the back cover are wrong. The 150kt displays seem correct.

Yeah, it's a little off, but maybe the speed just changed and the
recalculation hasn't caught up yet.

Fly airplanes. But really. The display shows the ground speed as 130kts;
the distance to travel as 398nm and the time as 13:16. So it's either 13
minutes or 13 hours. Both seem very wrong.

Magazine GPSs aren't approved for navigation.

New feature: time travel. It's not as big as XM weather, but it must be
in one of the menus somewhere.

It was added to the Garmin 2995, but retrofitted.
