Amazingly how much more they can pack in the same physical package - a
little faster processor perhaps, more memory, improved (an already

Taxi diagrams would be nice, though someone pointed out that fairly
decent (but unlabeled) airport diagrams are available if you have
CitySelect data loaded.

Private airports are a big deal to some folks, not so much with me.

Right now, I think
it's a pretty good bargain, especially if you're not interested in the
automotive navigation capabilities.

(copied from RAO thread)
private airports DB is a feature I'd like.

Interestingly, having flown in and out of our private grass strip a few
times, we have a very nice set of tracks on the Garmin that outline the
runway and taxiway. It appears that in zero-zero conditions, one could
taxi from the runway to my hangar door just following the tracks. Sort
of a every-man's runway/taxiway diagram. If it cools off a bit, I may
just take the hood and a safety pilot and see if it works.... remember
'dither'? May it RIP.

Re the auto feature. The auto kit (which was shipped free as part of
the initial offer) has a memory chip and DB that for all practical
purposes gives you full auto capability. Use it all the time. Fly in,
rent car, mount 396 in bean bag holder, follow voice prompts to
destination. I often take the XM attennae for hotel room music.
