I am thinking of selling mine.

If you don't need the money from the sale, keep the GPS. Turn it off if you prefer the challenge of "flying naked". But it's handy to have when visibility is bad, or when you go into unfamiliar airports. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 486 Member/250+posts | | Member/250+posts Joined: May 2005 Posts: 486 | Hung:
Yes, I know. That part was a joke. I'm going to fly with a GPS. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 9,816 Likes: 131 Member/7500+posts | | Member/7500+posts Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 9,816 Likes: 131 | I navigate naked all the time!

I have a friend that may be interested. What is your price? (If you would like you can PM me.) | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 486 Member/250+posts | | Member/250+posts Joined: May 2005 Posts: 486 | I have received 14 emails and pm's to this rather hasty announcement that I was thinking of selling my G-296 . It looks like there is a market for used G-296s.
I am really waiting to see what Garmin has to announce at Oshkosh because as you all know, "Blueberry" only gets the best (self-depreciating jab).
So, if Garmin announces M&M colored 396s or an integrated Ipod, I am going to not buy that, but opt for the current 396 and sell this 296. I just want the weather thingy. For those interested in this absolutely perfect Garmin 296, just wait a few weeks and I will toss it out there (for return money, of course).
It looks like they are going on E-bay for a little less than a grand. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 12,760 Member/10,000+ posts! | | Member/10,000+ posts!

Seems they say the only difference between the 396 and the model being released in Oshkosh, is the new model has a voice that talks to you. A talking GPS!
