5.0 out of 5 stars Contains both aviation and auto navigation with real time weather reports!, May 23, 2009

This review is from: Garmin GPSMAP 496 Aviation GPS Receiver (Electronics)
Even if you are not a pilot this GPS is the one to get. It contains both aviation and auto navigation. This gives you much more detail especially around airports when you are driving. You can also get real time weather reports. This is a great asset particularly if you drive in hurricaine or tornado prone areas. It also contains a topographical terrain database perfect if you are also a camper or hiker. So whether you fly, drive, hike or camp this GPS does it all.

4.0 out of 5 stars The best MFD / Navigation console on the market, July 6, 2010

This review is from: Garmin GPSMAP 496 Aviation GPS Receiver (Electronics)
I bought the Garmin 496 to help aid cross-country air travel in small planes like Cessnas and Citabrias. I love this computer - it's better than having someone in the right seat figuring stuff out. Very easy single-hand use, gotta love the XM WX, terrain mapping and airport info is fantastic.

I don't use this much as a automobile GPS, since I have a Garmin Nuvi that's much smaller and lighter for that purpose. However, this device is a really nice marine GPS too - and helps with coastal sailing etc.
