The Atlantic basemap version of the 296 does not have an obstacle database nor (more annoyingly) does it hold any VRPs. The US version of the 296 does have an obstacle database so it seems it's not impossible to implement. I believe that due to a certain amount of pressure from European owners, Garmin is considering adding this in the future. The Bendix King Skymap IIIC does however have these essential things already held in it's database.
