That is an excellent point. It could well be that when it arrives the smart

The display is my primary concern. Why would I buy this device,
portability aside, for a primary weather display when the display itself
is lousy?

I am particularly interested to hear how the 396 handles the XM issues
that folks have reported with WxWorx on Wings and other products. I
haven't experienced them myself (knock on wood), but they seem to be
inherent in the XM delivery system, so I doubt that Garmin will be able
to work around them.
