Subject: WxWorx on the Garmin 396

After reading and talking to people about rebooting and lighting  
issues on PCs, I am very glad that I picked the 396. I had a 296 and  
knew that the display was readable in all conditions.

I upped my coverage from the $30 per month to the $50 dollar per  
month WxWorx plan. Unlike east and west, where you know that you  
should be high or low respectively, I fly north and south a lot. With  
the $50 dollar plan I get winds aloft. On 80% of my trips my altitude  
is based on the WxWorx winds aloft. I have been able to save at least  
$20 every month be using the winds aloft to set my altitude. I keep  
wanting to drop back down to the cheaper plan but it just doesn't  
make cost effective sense. I have never been able to use the prior  
days (when I do my flight plan) winds aloft to make a lot of use of  
them. Now I have up to date, time and money saving information while  
I am flying.

By the way, I now have my 296 for sale. It includes the auto kit and  
the marine maps for Lake Erie and the Gulf. If anyone is interested,  
please call.
