I just bought a Garmin 96 GPS. I have loaded the Garmin Mapsource
software to my PC, but can't find any aviation data in it. All I see are
town, roads, etc. Any ideas how to do aviation planning on my PC and
download to my handheld?

AFAIK, Mapsource is just terrestrial information (ie driving...)

I'm pretty sure the Jep aviation data should already be loaded.

The JEP data is on the handheld, but not in Mapsource on the PC. I was
looking for a way to do aviation route planning on the PC. I would like
to do this because of the better displays etc of the PC compaired to the
hand held. For this I need the JEP data into Mapsource or some other PC
application that can load the route and waypoints onto the handheld.

Sorry, I don't have a GPS 96, but I do have a Garmin V+. I have Mapsource
software, but it's street maps, not an aviation databse.

Don't know how or where you can access the Jep data outside the unit itself.
No USB or proprietary connector of any kind?
