GPSMAP396 Jepp update question

[xyzzy]

My GPSMAP396 came with a coupon for a free Jepp update, but it must be
used within 90 days of purchase date (which I will assume will be the
ship date of 8/23). I want to optimize this to get the most recent data
I can within the 90 days. When will be the last Jepp data update before
November 20th or so?

Since we're talking specifically about the 396, here's another way:

http://shop.garmin.com/aviation/databases/
select GPSMAP 396 from the pull-down and click on continue
select Jeppesen and click on continue

The next cycle is number 0510, is available 9/19, and effective 9/29 to 10/26.

Each cycle is 28 days, so advance all the dates 28 days to calculate the next one.

I talked with a Garmin rep about database updates a few months after
purchasing my 296. He said they were pretty liberal about honoring the
coupons and suggested I wait until about 6 months after purchasing the GPS
to use the coupon. I did and there was no problem.
