Garmin GPSMAP 495
Like Piper and the Matrix, Garmin has stripped-out the expensive items in
the 496 and offering the 495 without weather and the automotive package at $1,595 as opposed to the $2,395. I don't want to underestimate Garmin's ability to price their products appropriately but I don't think this is a winner. Essentially, you'd be paying +$400 for the SafeTaxi, better processor, higher terrain resolution, asn AOPA directory. To me, it doesn't seem like a big jump in capability over the 296 to justify a 1/3 increase in cost. Maybe I'm just coming from the wrong angle as an IFR flyer... Marco
