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.

Hi

I got a 96C recently, and I am using a Mac so can't even use the
Mapsource program. Using a Mac program to transfer tracks, routes
etc, and you can scan in maps and use them in the program. Uses
serial only, so I had to purchase a Garmin serial cable and a USB to
serial converter and it works well.. I am sure there will be PC
programs that allow you to use your own map and overlay the tracks and
routes on top of it.
