Zaon XRX and a Garmin 496

So I've decided to get myself some sort of traffic ability and have been
leaning towards a Zaon MRX given the $.5 AMU cost.
Then I see this on AvWeb: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlRoVcOnFM4

Turns out the $1.7 AMU Zaon can now interface with the Garmin 496/396 by
sending the traffic data in a TIS-style message to the GPS. Not only that,
the XRX can actually detect traffic in 10 degree (or 22 degree as the Zaon
guy mentioned) azimuth increments but is limited by its display to only 45
deg. So with the interface, you get to take advantage of its full accuracy.

Damn, having spent the $$ on the 496 it seems a waste not to take advantage
of this to make it a VERY capable little box. *sigh*
