Anybody who can work out what all the funny lines on a Gx96 mean, I wanna their email address, because I can't work it out A lot of the stuff I see on mine I cannot relate to anything on the CAA map. A config issue, maybe...

A Gx96 makes a good "DCT box" for IFR backup in case of an aircraft power failure, and the 496 makes a good GPWS when wired into the intercom.

But for normal navigation, you want a big screen running a real "printed" VFR chart. Garmin don't make any of those.
