Postby kb » Mon Aug 22, 2005 12:02 pm

I am in the process of looking at a GPS, namely the Garmin 96.
Anyone got any comments, good / bad / anybody have one, what are your feelings on this model?? Any help is appreciated

kb, you need at least a Std 8 to operate any GPS!!

The manufacturer should have warned you :lol: :lol: :lol:

Just got a 96C. Haven't flown with it yet, but it looks stunning on my dash in my bakkie :D

As far as usability, it seems to be pretty much the same as the other Garmins I have used. There are a lot more options in the menu's because of it's increased functionality, but once setup, it really is simple.

Hopefully I will get to fly this Sunday (for the first time in 5 weeks), so I will have a better impression of how it performs in the air...
