David - it=99s my understanding that the Aera 500 would drive the
TruTrak OK. Way back in 2009-11-05 I logged in my build journal:
=9CNote that the just-announced Garmin aera 500 touchscreen GPS
appears to offer more screen area in a smaller box than the 296, and to
have superseded it (the 296 has disappeared from the Garmin website),
and Transair already have it listed at a lower price than the 296 - ho
hum.=9D
So it looks as though I had at that time checked the capability of the
Aera 500 to drive my TruTrak wing leveller and found it to be
compatible. I was just disappointed that it was =9Cnicer=9D,
smaller and cheaper than the GPSmap 296 to which I had already
committed!
