A truly portable MFD, the GPSMAP 396 combines color moving map and
terrain alerting features with the latest in satellite data link weather.
An integrated GXM 30A smart antenna makes the satellite connection, enabling
the unit to receive and process XM Weather and flight safety products. In
addition to offering the outstanding features and operation of the GPSMAP
296, the GPSMAP 396 allows pilots to display NEXRAD, Temporary Flight
Restrictions (TFRs), METARs, TAFs, Winds Aloft, and many other useful weather
products through a subscription with XM Radio data services. Speaking of
XM Radio, the audio and entertainment from XM Satellite Radio is also available
via an audio jack on the unit. An additional subscription is required for
XM Radio entertainment. What more cold you ask from a GPS portable? How
