 ( No Pros Listed From Reviewer ) ConsI thought it was a instruction DVD, did nothing for me at all and a waste of time, effort and money. I would have rturned it but too much of a hassle. General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |
Date - 2-3-2011 Pilot Rating - Private Overall  Durability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended No | DVD is convenient ConsDisappointed in content, only 30 minutes for $25. Not enough detail. I will be very careful about what training aids I purchase from you in the future. General CommentsNot very pleased. |
Date - 1-18-2011 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended No | Weather was OK Consexplaining other features was below par! General CommentsI would not recommend this as a teaching tool! |
Date - 6-6-2010 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended No | Gave a good overview of the GPS ConsWas very basic and would be a better value at $15-20 General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |
Date - 8-24-2009 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Very specific tips about operating in a real word environment with the 396/496 and XM weather. ConsPacing of the program is a little slow. General CommentsCondenses a lot of info you would probably figure out for yourself over the course of time (depending how often you fly) so you get maximum use for the unit immediately. Provides good tips on the specific unit, and some good general tips for GPS use. |
| ( No Pros Listed From Reviewer ) Cons( No Cons Listed From Reviewer ) General CommentsReally helped a non Garmin past user get right up to speed with all of the features of the 496. |
Date - 10-11-2008 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | An excellent OVERVIEW which Collins states several times in the video. You could watch this video then practice with the unit at your house and become competent very quickly. ConsThe video alone in no way makes you anywhere competent and ready to fly with the unit unless you have Garmin expeience already. I wish they would stated OVERVIW some where in the title. "Flying the Garmin 396/496" sounds like you will be able to fly it after the video. General CommentsAs always - Sporty's has once again provided an excellent training resource at a great value! |
Date - 10-8-2008 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended No | ( No Pros Listed From Reviewer ) ConsNot any more useful than the manual. He goes through the different pages but really doesn't explain how to use it. General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |
Date - 9-23-2008 Pilot Rating - Instrument OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended No | ( No Pros Listed From Reviewer ) ConsToo much time on weather function and not enough on the abilitys of the unit General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |

Date - 5-28-2008 Pilot Rating - Instrument OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended No | Quick and easy to listen to. ConsA sales tool, not an educational tool. Very disappointed with the DVD. Not the quality I expect from Sporty's. Slight references to the 496 were not anything that really helps. General Comments The Jeppesen Garmin GPSMAP 496 Training software at least give more structure and information about the unit. At $70 it is a much more useful value than the $25 DVD. |
Date - 5-7-2008 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended No | none Consbasically a commercial for the product. General CommentsWould have liked to have seen the unit in action and the features more clearly demonstrated |
| A bit more detailed than the manual, covering the tasks most used. ConsWould have liked to have seen an actual flight flown to show what to expect enroute. General CommentsGood supplement to the manual. |
| ( No Pros Listed From Reviewer ) Cons( No Cons Listed From Reviewer ) General CommentsI expected this to be a shortcut to reading the manual. It definitely is not. |
| ( No Pros Listed From Reviewer ) ConsWhat is there is fine. It needs to be longer and cover more information on the 496. General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |
| Gives a good over view of the products capeabilities ConsA little too general - but still interesting. General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |
Date - 11-30-2007 Pilot Rating - Instrument OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended No | ( No Pros Listed From Reviewer ) ConsNot as expected, very superficial. General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |
Date - 11-30-2007 Pilot Rating - ATP OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended No | Easy to use. ConsAlmost entirely directed towards weather related functions which are unavailable where I fly in New Zealand. General CommentsUseless for my needs. |
| Well produced. ConsSeemed like a marketing and sales piece that I had to pay for. There was little useful contect. General CommentsIf I knew it was going to be a sales peice I could have gotten that pitch from Garmin and not spent the money. I appreciate Sporty's as a company and chose not to return it, but I really felt it was not worth what I paid for it as it did not teach me much at all. |
