The GPSMAP
196 is a versatile navigator for air, land,
and sea.
This WAAS-capable unit
has detailed moving map graphics, HSI steering guidance,
a Jeppesen database, and all the other pilot-friendly features
you'd expect from Garmin. You'll be amazed at the exceptional
resolution and contrast on this unit's 12-level grayscale
display, and its lightning-fast processor makes for extremely
fast map redraws and scrolling.
Situational awareness gets a boost from built-in land detail
that includes political boundaries, cities, interstates,
roads, rivers, and lakes. Steering guidance is clearly presented
through a graphic HSI with VNAV, with extended runway centerlines
to help orient you to the runway. An automatic logbook also
calculates your flight time and automatically records departure
and arrival locations. When used with Garmin's free logbook
software—FlightBook—this
feature makes light work of maintaining your logbook. Your
flight information will be stored in the unit and can be
downloaded to this exclusive GPSMAP 196 Flightbook software
at any time.
The GPSMAP 196 compromises nothing in its versatility,
going from cockpit to land to water. In fact, it offers
some of the same features found in expensive in-dash car
navigation systems, including auto routing. In addition
to the built-in Garmin basemap, the GPSMAP 196 accepts most
of our MapSource®
products.
Features include:
- Unique panel page graphically displays flight information
- Logbook feature automatically records departure airports,
arrival airports, and flight time, all of which can downloaded
