GARMIN 496 Aviation GPS

            I am selling my Garmin 496 (with instructional CD) and my Garmin 296 as seen in the photo.  Before I offered these for sale I took everything in the picture to Don Weil who has the aviation radio shop in Harlingen, Texas.  He is well known and has been in the same location for many years.  His is phone number is 956-330-3489 and can be contacted regarding these units.  He said that the 496 was in good working order but that the 296 was not.  He said it would have to be sent to Garmin for repairs.  He said it might be something simple (and inexpensive), but he was not equipped to repair the 296.  At the present time both units will turn on indicating that each battery is in operating condition.  Since both have a "cigarette lighter" connection they can be used in the car, the boat or the plane whether the battery is operating or not.  The picture shows each item that is being offered.  From the top left to the right the first item is the antennae for remote operation, the round item at the top is a weighted receiver so in rough air (or rough water) the receiver doesn't move around, then there are two ear phones that are battery operated.  They are particularly helpful when listening to Serius radio whether you're in the car or the plane. Next to the ear phones is the yoke mount and on the left hand side there is another yoke mount (aluminum).  Next to the mount is the "voice" for the GPS when the 496 is in voice mode and you are driving in the car.  Underneath that is another round remote antennae for the 496.  Next to that is the Garmin 496.  Then back to the left and underneath the aluminum yoke mount is the antennae that fits on either the 496 or the 296 so if you're carrying it on a camping trip you can use either unit for direction, weather, music, etc.  Directly under the 496 is the 296 and to the left of the 296 plug in to the cigarette lighter, and to the left of that is the charger for the batteries.  The batteries in each unit are rechargeable and if they are low then they can be recharged before buying new ones.  The batteries that come with the unit last a long time.  Below the 296 is the owner's manual, and to the left of that is another remote antennae.  To the right of the owner's Manuel is the carrying case.  I made some notes on the face of the manual but not in the text.  All the pages are there, in good condition, none missing or torn.  The notes on the face are the radio ID and other information for the 496 that you will probably need anyway.  I am selling these GPS units because I have changed to IPad Foreflight for my day to day flying.  I probably used everything you see in the picture for 2 to 3 years before I changed to Foreflight.  The weather display is wonderful, as I'm sure you know if you fly a lot, and I can only admire Garmin for everything they get into such a small unit.  Many pilots carry the 496 with them as a back up to their panel display.  Neither of these units shows any wear at all. They stayed in my flight bag, out of the weather and were well cared for.  I fly a Cessna 182 about 125 hours a year, so you can see in the 2 or 3 years that I was flying they didn't get much use. The instructional CD is from Sporty's  and very helpful in getting started with this unit.

New watch alert: Fiero

Fri, 17 Jan 2014

We've featured some pretty fancy lifestyle successories around here, but until today, we hadn't been able to find anything that captures the spirit of the mighty Pontiac Fiero. But today is a new day. Thanks to the miracles of modern shipping, we're able to order this little beauty straight from Kowloon, Hong Kong.

New 2013 Nissan LEAF goes the ‘Battery Lease’ route UPDATED

Thu, 11 Apr 2013

Even though you will be paying the same rate as you did in the first year, you’ll have to make do with the old batteries unless they fall below the 9 bar level, when Nissan will replace them under warranty. There is no doubt that Nissan are still convinced the future is the electric car, and the LEAF – the world’s best-selling electric car – is the future of motoring. And the LEAF is a convincing car if all you want is a well-built family car to transport you round your local area, even if it will cost an arm and a leg to buy in comparison to an ICE car.

Land Rover Defender 110: The Lego Edition

Sat, 19 May 2012

The Lego Land Rover Defender A Lego building genius called Sheepo has built a perfect scale version of a Land Rover Defender 110 out of Lego. And it works. The odd ‘Castle’ or maybe an intricate wall was probably as far as any of us ever got with Lego, but a Lego building master calling himself Sheepo has put together an awe-ispiring scale model of a Land Rover Defender 110 built entirely out of the little plastic bricks (and some Lego extras).
