Default Garmin 496 Training

My experience with the handheld computers (and laptops) is they are not
as good as the dedicated handhelds (garmin etc). Mainly becuae the
garmins are made to be operated in an aircraft environment. The others
have chord, display, and button problems that are not idealized for the
pilot.
