Garmin 696 can not beat Garmin 496
Hi Guys

I understand, why you are so happy to have Garmin 696. But honestly this device can not beat older 496. Especially for helicopter pilot.

Do you want to fly from airport to airport, or you want to visit your friend in small village in countryside?

In older 496 you could search by name of cities and villages. On 696, you can upload TOPO, or city map, but yar ARE NOT ABLE to search by name of a city.

BAD LUCK.
