The Americas Version covers all of North America, Central America, Caribbean and South America as far south as AntarcticaSay goodbye to steep prices for terrain awareness. The Garmin 296 GPSMAP is a portable color GPS with built in terrain-mapping and alerting. With the Garmin 296, you get detailed sectional (chart style) shaded mapping & an extensive Jeppesen® database help visualize your flight-path in relation to nearby navaids, terrain, SUAs, obstructions and more.
