The main change? The AvMap. It displays towers so clearly on that big

Until these databases are and stay perfect...


I'll second that. I noticed while flying in Atlanta a few weeks ago that the
GPS (KLN 89B w/moving map) in the plane I rented did not display the Class D
around Dobbins AFB correctly. My sectional showed the SE cutout extension
which I presume is there for ILS approaches, but the moving map did not
display it at all. And the database was current! Guess it might be a
limitation of the software, but I'm leaning toward the "data being
innacurate" explanation.
