| Subject: | Upgrade for Garmin 296 Color GPS |
Members,
This message is to advise all of you who are using the Garmin Color
296 GPS and having trouble reading the screen because it is not light
enough to compete with the sun. I have one of these units and trying to
read it in bright sun light under a bubble or tear drop canopy is almost
impossible. I just got off the phone with Garmin Electronics and there
is a modification available for the 296 for a fee of $50.00. They will
modify the unit to match the newer GPS units in light intensity so that
they are more easily read. For those of you who are interested, here is
the address to send your unit to for this modification.

Bob this sound very interesting. Please give us a report back as soon as
you get yours back and let us know if it really is better. My Dynon and
AF 2500 engine monitor are both alot easier to read.
