Garmin 496 airspace issue
Recently having changed from a 296 to a 496 I have noticed that when moving the cursor to highlight airspace height ahead of you it seems to highlight and display the higher airways above a TMA.(Airways were not shown on the 296) For example it will show a 3500 airway when a 2500 LTMA below is not high lighted below.
I have contacted Garmin Europe and they are investigating it, I just wondered if anyone else has noticed this. For anyone not familiar it can catch you out.

Not only this but it also doesn't always list the other airspace in the same level. I haven't got my unit here but it sometimes you get a 'More' tag and can see airspace at other levels, other locations don't show this. I think this is in areas where Class A and CTA's overlap.
If you want to see a really bad implementation of showing Class A airways just have a look round the MAY VOR. A lot of Class A airways end there and rather than combine them they are all drawn individually
