Garmin 295 Vs 196

[Rickskymaster]

I have a 295 and love it for a couple of reasons.

The first is that it is dual use unit. It can be used on the ground and air. I use it for business getting to specific addresses without a problem. It will not give you turn left, turn right instructions, but it will find the address and draw a line from where you are to where you want to go. The last mile of directions I find with people giving instructions are the toughest.

The second is that the 295 is color. I personally like color and that is a big thing to me. I dont think the 196 comes that way.

Either unit is great and I have friends that have the 196 and love it.

I take the 295 with me flying and use it as a backup to the Garmn 530.
