One problem with renting a fancy GPS with all those extra features is
the learning curve.


I think something like the 396/496 should be simple enough for the average
pilot to figure out. Since the big draw for that unit is the satellite data,
one wouldn't have to spend too much time figuring out all of the geewhiz
features.

Actually I don't think this is a bad idea. I got around the problem by
having a friend with a 396 :-) I myself couldn't justify the cost of the
396/496. There just isn't that much weather where I fly.
