My gripe about Garmin is their aviation database. There are no aviation
businesses listed in "City Select" in the auto kit.

So you have an "Aviation" 296 with their latest database and when you get to
an airport there are no FBOs listed, none. But you can find a McDonalds on
Airport Road.

Eventually I found that I had too many waypoints in my Garmin, so I
downloaded everything to the computer (using EZGPS software) and
massaged them a bit and made them into two databases, one with
everything I might ever need, the other with the few dozen that I use
on a monthly basis. Then I erased the Garmin's memory and uploaded
just the short version. I make sure that home plate is the first entry
