You'll get considerable more capabilities and display size all while maintaining the ability to drive your autopilot. It will have additional features too that you might like, like the ability to sync the flight plan from your tablet to the aera 660 wirelessly. Assuming you have it panel mounted using an AirGizmo, it appears based on the specs they publish on their website (links below) that they are the same height and width, so that should help simplify the swap. Full disclosure, I'm an RV-10 builder that happens to work for Garmin :) GPSMAP 496 product size = 5.7"W x 3.2"H x 1.9"D (14.5 x 8.1 x 4.8 cm) aera 660 product size = 5.5=9DW x 3.4=9DH x .8=9DD (14. 1 x 8.7x 2.1 cm) AirGizmo specs http://www.airgizmos.com/assets/images/products/pd28/PD28-AirGizmos_aera660 _PanelDock_spec.pdf http://www.airgizmos.com/assets/images/products/pd4/PD4-AirGizmos_496_Panel Dock_spec.pdf -Joey On Thu, Dec 12, 2019 at 12:19 PM Albert wrote: > > As additional information, I know there are newer and better gps units > available but I want to put it in the same panel hole.
