Super Cool GPS Panel Page: Just look at the panel page: GPS-derived HSI, airspeed indicator, altimeter, VSI and turn coordinator. Pilots have a term for this page: cool. Push the page key and more flying-friendly information appears. Like feathered runway extensions on the map page and detailed data that pops-up when you scroll over built-in points of interest. Need to see two things at once? No problemo with the split-screen feature; it allows you to monitor both HSI and map pages. The panel improves your situational awareness.
Faster and More Accurate: Your flying will be faster and more accurate with a faster and more accurate GPS leading the way. A 320 x 240 pixel screen with a 12 level backlit display showcases crisp graphics which redraw with incredible speed thanks to a newer, faster processor.
Just Say No to Tedious Paperwork: The Garmin 196 GPS comes equipped with an automatic logbook that calculates flight times, arrival times, and departure times. This allows you to focus on the fun part – flying.
Versatile Capabilities – Navigate by Land, Air or Sea: The GPSMAP 196’s first love is flying, but with user selectable formats and optional MapSource CD information, your aviation GPS can take to the streets and provide address look-up, automatic routing and turn-by-turn directions. And for those who also have propellers under the water, the GPSMAP 196 offers marine navaids, depth contours, tide data and more all in a waterproof case. The GPSMAP 196.
