The 496 does come with VRPs and obstacles and also many, (but not necessarily all,) of Cub's downloadable waypoints. The screen redraw rate is apparently five times faster than any other GPS on the market and
allegedly almost makes the 'panel' page suitable for real time instrument flying ( no pitch info though, and therefore not necessarily something to be recommended except in extremis)
