From what I've heard over the past year that's true. Unfortunately,
they don't seem to have any plans to update the 4xx/5xx to provide the
higher resolution and color depth necessary to properly support terrain
info.

Can you imagine the 296's or G1000's terrain display on the 4xx/5xx?
That would be something to behold. Heck, I think I could justify a
second 430 if that were the case.

But, then again, silly me. This is the publically-traded Garmin we're
talking about. They're too busy buying up their competition, telling
their dealers how much profit they can make, or making up stupid excuses
why they can't STC the G1000 suite, to actually do what their customers
want. Argh!
