is very limited in this respect.

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.

I'm sure some of the limitations of the G1000 are a result of it being
certified. JPI tells me I can have my EDM certified to replace my
stock CHT gauge but I have to send the unit in to disallow me from
changing the alarm limits.
