Boy they kept this quiet. I'm sure they will have them at Airventure. Since
I can't go those of you that do let's here about it. http://www.sportys.com/acb/showdetl....gId=52 9#desc Garmin GPSMAP 396 All the great features of the 296, PLUS XM datalink weather! The new Garmin GPSMAP 396 is a truly portable Multi-Function Display. It combines a sharp color moving map, Garmin's popular terrain alerting and satellite datalink weather. An integrated GXM 30 smart antenna makes the satellite connection, enabling the unit to receive and process XM Weather and flight safety products. In addition to offering the outstanding features and operation of the GPSMAP 296, the GPSMAP 396 allows pilots to display NEXRAD radar, Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs), METARs, TAFs, Winds Aloft and many other useful weather products through a subscription with XM Radio data services. Speaking of XM Radio, the audio and entertainment from XM Satellite Radio is also available via an audio jack on the unit. An additional subscription is required for XM Radio entertainment. What more could you ask from a GPS portable? How about displaying TIS traffic when interfaced with a Garmin GTX330 transponder, and channeling a Garmin SL30 Nav/Com by highlighting a frequency on the GPSMAP 396 and pressing the enter button. The GPSMAP 396 also performs in the car or on the boat as well, with turn by turn directions. |
