Garmin 96C

Hi,

I just bought a 96C for day VFR flying up north, however after using it a few times I have a couple of questions:

i) The database seems very limited, It doesn't seem to even know Kununurra?.. I received one free update from Jepps, will this add much detail?.. There doesn't seem to be a lot of it... just the odd road and airport.

ii) The altimeter on the GPS overeads anywhere from 200 to 2000 feet higher than the aircraft altimeter. Even trying a few different QNHs I couldn't get them to read the same figure?..
