Default Garmin 496 compared to the 396

Fortunately for Garmin, if you want XM weather in a box, they are
currently the only show in town.


vistanav also provides XM weather. It looks like a waaaay bigger bigger
display, too.


If you read my original posts, you'll know why I considered -- and
rejected -- all the tablet-PC-based versions.

Basically it came down to price for a flash-memory based system. $4K-
$5K was just too much, and they were futzy.
