It is definitely superior to the 396. I use mine in the car any time I'm
going somewhere I've never been.

As far as I know, the automotive features are identical between the 396
and 496, so I'm not sure what is "superior" about the 496 in this
regard, except that the 496 has the map data preloaded.

I have noticed that while private airports may not appear in the 396
aviation data, they sometimes appear on the auto side (Navteq data),
along with airports that have long ago disappeared.
