The Garmin 496 GPS has more added advantages and more impressive features than Garmin 396. To put it in a nutshell, it can be the termed as the best and most sophisticated portable GPS server.
The additional features, which the new Garmin 496 GPS has are; the Safe Taxi airport diagrams for around 650 airports, Garmin’s altitude sensitive smart airspace alerts, AOPA’s Airport directory data; enhanced high-resolution terrain for private airports and heliports, faster 5 hertz GPS update rate, preloaded automotive maps of North America or Europe. Additional to all these, the GPSMAP 496 is been featured with a built in database, which includes the information on terrain and US, obstacles databases. This is considered as the better resolution that it can include over ten times as much data as the 396 for even more visual reference. Thus the Garmin 496 GPS can be considered as the world’s most highly evolved aviation portable.
