Default XM question for Garmin 396/496 owers

That's because you have your 496 mounted in the dock in your panel.
I use a RAM suction cup mount to place the 496 within 12-inches of my
face. I don't like the yoke mount that comes with the 496.
I zoom in and out to obtain the best weather picture as necessary.


That's one reason my 496 is mounted on the center console, to the front of
the map case/arm rest. It's a lot more redaable there. The other reason is
that there's not a lot of other places to put it in the Zodiac...
