Cool addition, but I have some questions:

Hi Folks,
This stirs an old memory for me. I recall investigating the long load
time of the c172p quite a while ago, and determined that the GPS196 was to
blame (particularly as two were being loaded!). I _think_ we managed to
fix most of them, but I would think it worth checking that any chances to
the c172p are reflected in the c182s.
Also a couple of other comments from me:
1) Taking a step back: Do we really want to include something that's so
out of date? This GPS is almost 20 years old now. I don't think anyone
still uses them IRL - tablets have just taken over for VFR navigation. In
general, I'm very concerned about simulator performance. This might not
have much impact, but it all adds up.
2) If it is to be included it should reference the fgdata version, not copy
it.

1. I will clone the repository and submit a pull request.
2. I don't see any significant impact on FPS. As with C172, slight
delay when starting the unit (can be removed by disabling city list
loading).
3. GPSMap196 operates as a semi-standalone unit, so there is no
avionics integration, but it currently shows the route in both the route
manager and on the map. I am working on adding another GPS module made by
tdammers that will be integrated with the avionics systems and gpsmap196
should remain fully standalone. For now, they cannot be both used properly
at the same time because they share the same flight plan.
4. I will make a checkbox in the plane dialog in the cloned repository.

Hi
I managed to add Garmin GPSMap 196 from fgdata to C182s.
Since my goal was to add this GPS in such a way that it would not interfere with the observation above the glareshield and without modifying the panel model, I decided to attach it to the pilot's yoke.
The current implementation allows the GPS to be hidden with the same level of transparency as the yoke when hidden, but lacks the GUI or clickspot to completely remove it from the cockpit as in the C172p when hidden in the glovebox and correct backlight.

To add this GPS you need to modify/add the following files:
Bellow I attach those files, but I'm unsure if are compatible with latest c182s version, so I advice to copy only parts of code needed to garmin 196 (look for garmin196 in code).
