What are the weather overlay capabilities of these units? Can you
overlay a radar map on top of your airspace map? Across a route you are
navigating?

Yes, yes, and yes. Everything -- airspace, navigation, and radar
returns -- can be shown on the same map. (You can add satellite, too.)

Sadly, the 496's screen is so little that it's difficult to see any of
this great stuff.

OK, next question...

Why'd you select the 496 instead of the 396 if the key functionality is XM,
which is more or less what you indicated in another post?
