The Americas Version covers all of North America, Central America, Caribbean and South America as far south as Antarctica
Knowing where you are in the air is a pretty big deal. You don’t have signs, stoplights, heck, roads to tell you where you’re going. Therefore, it’s crucial to have the best aviation GPS you can get your geeky little hands on. We recommend the Garmin 396 GPS as an amazing and reliable tool to help you get from A to B. When you order the 396 GPS, we’ll get it from A (us) to B (you) for a value you won’t find anywhere else - $1.00 overnight shipping. No, not $1.00 shipping. $1.00 overnight shipping. It’ll be your GPS’s first foray into flight.
This amazing flight visualization tool is an incredible value for all the features it offers. It has the basics you’d expect from an aviation GPS: color moving maps of the Americas, the Caribbean, and Antarctica, terrain alerting features (read: mountain ahead, watch yourself), and satellite weather tracking features.
The GXM 30 Smart Antenna has a built-in satellite receiver that tracks nearly real time weather. It’s your in-flight meteorologist. It has ultra crisp, high resolution graphics that detail NEXRAD radar imaging and METARs, and it even reports on precipitation, lightning, winds, airport terminal forecasts and more. This is not only important for travel, but crucial for your safety while in flight. Do you have a Garmin Mode S transponder? Awesome. Connect the two for even more display information about traffic targets and more.
The Garmin 396 GPS takes topography shots to a new level (no pun intended). The Jeppesen database shows you on your flight route, zooming over a realistic terrain. Yeah, whatever. The cool part is that it has an advisory features with TAWS-like color coding and pop up alerts for any possibly dangerous obstructions.
Long flight ahead? It’s ok. It also has XM Satellite radio to bring you over 150 channels of inflight entertainment. This little baby provides big picture navigation in an ultra portable format.
