Garmin GPS Comparison
Garmin 496, 495, 396, 296...
Which is the best GPS for you?
With the recent release of the GPSmap® 495, Garmin now has seven aviation GPSmap units (if they release the Garmin 596 this year, as rumored, it will be eight). So needless to say, one of the most commonly asked question is, "Which Garmin unit is best for me?"
When asked this question, my first response is always a question back: "Do you want weather on your unit?" If the answer is "yes," then it's not too difficult to determine the best unit — it's either the Garmin 496 or the Garmin 396. But if the answer is "no" it becomes more challenging. The remaining 5 units (actually 7 if you count the still popular, yet discontinued units: Garmin 295 and Garmin 195) can differ quite a bit in both functionality and size. That's where Tropic Aero's Garmin GPS Comparison comes in.
Tropic Aero's Garmin GPS Comparison page on their website allows you to select different GPS units and view them in a side-by-side comparison. It makes the decision process a whole-lot easier through the process of elimination. Click Here to try it out.
