I have a new Garmin GPS 296, but AirPlan can seem to connect to it via the USB connection. What is wrong?
AirPlan does not yet support the new Garmin USB interface protocol. Fortunately, the 296 also supports the older serial interface protocol. You will need a Garmin serial interface cable to connect AirPlan to your Garmin 296. You can order one from Garmin at: http://shop.garmin.com/accessory.jsp?sku=010%2D10514%2D00 Q: I have noticed a significant discrepancy between the built-in database of airports and what is shown on sectional charts. I realize that “significant” is a subjective term, but the difference appears to be around 1NM which can be a big deal when flying with the moving map. Is there any adjustment I can make to bring these two back in-line? Which one should I rely on? Are there any product changes in the works that will have an impact on this? A: Don’t adjust your T.V. set. The difference is due to the fact that the cartographers who draw the charts don’t always draw the airports where they are actually located. They will move them a significant amount to make the charts m
