...in at least five ways that I've found so far:

o The 496 allows extensive customizing of displayed data fields. The
G1000 is very limited in this respect.

o The 496 automatically records each flight's origin, destination,
time and distance. The G1000 lacks this feature.

o The 496 can records each flight's track. The G1000 lacks this
feature.

o The 496 can provide continuous update of nearest altimeter, dewpoint,
humidity and/or temperature in dedicated data fields. The G1000 lacks
this feature.

and biggest of all:

o The 496 can animate NEXRAD. The G1000 cannot.
