Have you tried doing it yourself? Very easy and very fast.

It looks like the 196 database is available there.

GPS update prices
Be ready.
Just went to do an update on my GPS 296 aviation database. The price is up to $49.95 for a SINGLE update. I think I'll just use it for orientation at that price and simply keep the VFR sectionals current at $8/apiece, needing only 1 or 2 for most of my flying.
With the trade in value of a GPS 296 now down to $500, much less the trade in price of a 196 now down to $200 (re Aircraft Spruce), $49.95 represents a large percent of what the unit is worth.
In a recession, I guess I'm missing the soundness of the business model here. Good luck Garmin.
