Recently i ran across an ad for renting then buying these units, cant
find again but wanted to get some input from anyone on the list that has
a 496. I have a 296 that I like, only thing im realy interested in is

shown. Charles Heathco Do bnot archive

Hello Charlie
Keep calling them and you will reach them eventually.Horace
is getting old but he still provides a very good and very inexpensive service.
Don't be in a rush to get your servo back , it took 2 months to get my AP-1
back but it works as advertised and cost $34.00 to repair..try to get a price
like that in any avionics shop these days...
Cheers

Anyone know what's up with Navaid Devices? I've tried calling them from
around 1:30PM until 9:00 PM yesterday & again this afternoon & there's
no answer to either their listed voice line nor their fax line (both
ring, but no answer).
I've been calling
(423) 267-3311 - Office
(423) 756-6154 - Fax
as listed on their web site & on-line phone directories.
I need a servo rescued from 'stupid installer tricks' & I hate shipping
it when I can't even contact them.
Thanks,
Charlie

I bought a 496 after a presentation by Garmin at Oshkosh 2006. Compared
to the 396, the processor was 5 times faster and the terrain granularity
was 10 times finer.(numbers approximate) If you tell me which pvt
airstrips, I can check and get back to you.

I have both. I decided to keep the 296 as a unit for the car and as my
backup in the plane. 496 is a better unit in that it's refresh rate is
faster, has more, but not all of the pvt strips, has weather and the taxiway
information. Worth the price differential in my book. But, why rent? Is
it because you'd use it that seldom, sporadically.

I like mine. Most of my flying is to and from pvt strips so that was a must
have. The update rate is fast, the tower and terrain warnings and
depictions are great and I reluctantly admit that the XM weather has
probably saved my life more than once.
However, the multi-inflected verbal warnings to "Pull UP!" everytime I land
when no flight plan is entered, frightens my passengers and interrupts my XM
music.

The alerts are reconfigurable. I don't have the unit in front of me, but
I recall it is menu->system->alerts. You can even set a low-voltage
alert if your spam can is ill equipped.

Sounds like you want the new Garmin 495 - just like the 496 but no XM
weather/radio and no preloaded city select maps.
I'm not using one but saw them at Sun-n-Fun

I get the 500' warning as well (Terrain) but later during final
approach 'she' gets more insistant with "Pull Up". There is no doubt a
good reason for this. Guess I'll have to wade into the instruction guide to
find out how to stop it (other than turning down the volume).

I saw it at SnF on Thursday and went back to the booth on Saturday to get
more information. The booth was closed for the day, so I didn't get the full
story.
I'm interested in the ATC with XM weather and am wary of the multi-box and
bluetooth approach AnywhereMap uses. Multiple boxes often means weird
compatibility issues and bluetooth isn't nearly as reliable as a hard
connection. Where this plays out for me is that I need a device that is as
reliable as a hammer. Previous AnywhereMap products have had great feature
sets, but have been somewhat problematic from a user's standpoint.
I need to hear a long string of great reviews of the ATC with weather before
I will seriously consider it.
Personally I'm holding out for a Lowrance product with XM weather, but if
they don't come to the table soon, I'm probably headed to the Garmin
booth...

To All,
It is with great disappointment that I have to offer for sale my completed
empenage and wing kits. The empenage is completely done and the wings are
completed except for riveting the two bottom skins on each wing. They also
have two Duckworth landing lights installed and a pitot tube mount install
ed. You can ask anybody about my worksmanship. I guarantee you will not b
e disappointed.
The reason for selling is the need to complete my new home. I can always g
et another kit later.
The Van's price for these is $7680.00 for the standard kits. These are don
e with extras.
I am asking $7500.00 firm. They are in storage and available for viewing a
t my home in Spokane, WA.
Give a call for questions.

I Googled the unit Anywhere map uses and found the reviews dismal to say the least.
I agree I am holding out for Lorwance and XM WX (I like my 600C from them)
but if they don't cough up soon (real soon) then it is the Garmin for me also.
