| 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.
