EN48, and others,
Just an fyi - we got our 696 last Monday, and its still in crash mode, even with the new 2.4 software. Seems to be caused by uploading the updated flitecharts. Initially it took so long, I had to unplug everything as my pax turned up and we had to leave. It now won't accept the charts and I am having my busiest ever week, so am not at home with a good computer when Garmin help is in the office. Hopefully later this week, meantime the 696 sits in its box
So, for those new purchasers, be cautious when uploading the flitecharts. Allow at least 2.5 hrs if using a laptop and wireless. I had to pull the plug at 1hr15 and 60% completed. Or take the manual route and put them on the computer first, then transfer them onto the 696.
