Garmin unveiling?

wrote: Airways. Until they put airways in the GPS systems they will still be just help tools. This is the same with the G1000. I still have to carry all my charts and reference them often in flight. Excellent point, I had forgotten about airways. I have been flying with a Garmin 295 for years, but I also have my own moving map software running on a tablet PC which displays airways and intersections. In Garmin's defense, the airways take up a lot of memory, are slow to draw/paint on the screen, and consume/clutter the display... and that is on a 900MHz Pentium III tablet PC with a 10.4" screen. Airways would be a tough trick on a smaller 3-4" portable GPS screen.
