I guess I'll go with the 296 and not the 396. I don't fly that much and it would be hard to justify the fees.

With the terrain feature (I believe) it would be nice to have an alert with all the cell phone towers going up AND, we are having an explosion growth rate with wind turbines in West Texas. It seems like we have thousands of turbines out here now, but at least the wind turbines are very easy to spot during the daytime. The blades (on a sunny day) seem to flash when the sun hits them as they are spinning, but an overcast day might make the turbines hard to see.

I don't know if they input wind turbines and cell phone towers into the databank on the Garmins as "terrain" features (and probably not) but it would be a nice feature to have.
