Garmin 496 / Approach plates..

[SinkorSwim]

Does anyone besides aviationsafety.com make approach plates for the 496?

Does anyone have any experience with any approach loading software on the 496?

I use my 496 in the car, boat & plane; hate to get rid of it; but would love plates on my back up GPS.

Thx

interesting, I wasn't aware of that product, nor am I aware of any comparable ones. However, this seems like a pretty big limitation:

Approaches are installed in your Garmin as standard routes, so the maximum number of approaches you can have per flight would be 50. Of course you will have full access to all US approaches (Alaska and Hawaii included) for one year as part of the subscription to download as many times as you want. Missed approaches are also available and can be transferred to your Garmin and they would count as one route as well.

I already have almost all of my 50 routes loaded with other flights!
