OSH is not too far away... and this morning I get a few emails from various pilot shops saying the 396 just dropped to $2195 (this after I bought it about 1.5 months ago).

Makes me wonder what Garmin has coming out this summer. Any leads?

Maybe the question should be - what is LOWRANCE coming out with?!

With the 2000C having rave reviews and a less than $700 sale price... I bet they are moving product. I wonder if they have a weather mapping addition in the wings.

How's that for a rumor...

Did they drop the 296 price also?

Did a little search for rumors and found a few interesting articles. Here's some speculation on the Piper forum about when the 496 will arrive:
