It can do everything that I have asked of it. I have sena units on my
helmets and have the 395, phone and xm radio all bluetoothed to helmet.
When on rides I get directions from 395 aand every other darn thing
you can think of going through my head.

Good device for my needs.
Thanks for the reply! What advantages does the 595 offer over the 396 to justify another $300?

If the 396 ...

... allows me to pre-select roads and build my own route and give me turn-by-turn
... use Garmin's TPMS system
... use Live Stream to calm my wife's nerves about my verticality
... connect via Bluetooth so I can play my iTunes from my phone in the saddlebag

then I think I am 80% satisfied.

Missing is being able to stream Pandora through the unit, which I would like to be able to do, but not sure if that's worth $300.
