Sold my 296 to a nice guy before I went shopping for a Garmin touch screen or AV8OR handheld. After reading some reviews and testing in store of both units I'am least impressed with the AV8OR. 11 taps on the screen to get certain airport info to come up. Thats way to long. I wasn't the only one who had trouble with the same problem. The Garmins seemed ok but I think Garmin took a couple of steps backwards with their Graphics.. It seems they are using the auto GPS housing and graphics. When I said graphics they are using 1st grade animation and icons. If you have a 296/396/495/496 I would keep it until somebody does a up grade. Wish I didn't sell it!!!!(296)
