I purchased my Garmin 396 used a few months ago, in like-new condition and with a few extras - an extra remote antenna, nice case, etc. It did not, however, come with a computer interface cable or PC software - but that hasn't hampered any of my aviation use.
I have been thinking about doing the city navigation thing, and uploading detailed maps, but am a little confused over what exactly I need - and what size memory module might be appropriate. For instance, what software package do I need from Garmin, and how much memory does it take to hold detailed maps for the whole US? Or half the US? Or do you have to load cities individually anyway? I had an in-dash nav system in a Lexus for a couple years, and it had city maps for the whole country - but I think they were on a DVD in the trunk, which could be a large number of Gigs...
I'm a novice on this, so any help from anyone using it would be appreciated!
