THIS UNIT IS FOR USE ONLY IN NORTH, CENTRAL, AND SOUTH AMERICA!Garmin has done it! They have come up with the most technologically advanced mini multi-function display (call it a mini-MFD if you want to impress your buddies). The GPSMAP 496 is truly a marvel of technology. There are some pretty amazing and useful functions on this unit which range from a full color screen to satellite weather (oops, maybe we had better stay home and not go get that $100 hamburger after all, looks like there is a giant storm on the way) and terrain alerting (always good to know when your belly might be in danger of scraping on a mountaintop) - the 496 is similar to the GPSMAP 396 but the added functions we mentioned make it just that much better. View Your Position on TaxiwaysGarmin SafeTaxi data provides detailed taxiway diagrams and position information for over 650 U.S. airports. Preloaded on the unit, this information helps you navigate unfamiliar airports with confidence and shows your aircrafts exact position on the field. Access AOPA Airport DirectoryEasily look up taxi services, plan an overnight, choose fuel stops and more with the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) Airport Directory included on GPSMAP 496. It offers detailed information for over 5,300 U.S. airports along with the names and phone numbers of thousands of FBOs, plus ground transportation, lodging, restaurants, local attractions and more.
Receive Altitude-Sensitive AlertsWhen in the air, Garmin's new Smart Airspace feature makes it easier than ever to identify what airspace lies ahead. Smart Airspace automatically highlights airspace close to your current altitude and de-emphasizes airspace away from the current altitude, which gives you increased situational awareness. Enjoy Faster Update RateFor added realism and safety, the 496 updates map data and Panel page instruments at 5 Hz, a significantly faster update rate that gives you a smoother, near real-time” presentation of your aircrafts analog indicators, such as the HSI and turn coordinator. Enhance Situational AwarenessGPSMAP 496 features a built-in Jeppesen database along with terrain and U.S. obstacles databases. Using this information, the 496 displays your flight route over contour terrain mapping. The higher-resolution terrain database includes over ten times as much data as the 396s for even more visual reference. With information from the terrain and U.S. obstacles databases, the 496 monitors your current position in relation to surrounding terrain to provide alerts. Even customize your own minimum clearance levels to receive terrain cautions. The addition of private airports and heliports to the database provides even more navigation and emergency nearest options. Add Weather, Radio and TrafficMake informed decisions based on weather and traffic with optional sensors and services. With a subscription to XM WX
Satellite Weather and the included GXM 30A smart antenna, youll have access to constantly-updated, high-resolution weather data for the U.S, right in the cockpit.

With an additional monthly service fee, GXM 30A delivers XM Satellite Radio to your aircraft. Add a Garmin Mode S transponder, and the 496 will also display TIS traffic alerts that identify surrounding air traffic.

|  Enhance Situational Awareness This unit includes an internal Jeppesen databaseThe Jeppesen database provides location and facility information for thousands of airports, VORs, NDBs, and more. The update programs are designed to operate on Windows-compatible PCs and requires the included USB Interface Cable to be connected to the unit and an available USB port on your computer. NOTE: After you perform an update to your Jeppesen database, verify that all of your flight plans (routes) in your unit are current. If there is an obsolete Jeppesen aviation point in a saved route, the route is locked and unusable. You need to create a new route with current Jeppesen database points. The following information is provided from the internal Jeppesen database: - Airport: identifier, facility name, city/state/country, latitude/longitude, field elevation, available fuel types, runway designations and layout, runway surface, runway length, runway width, runway lighting, communication frequencies, and published approaches.
- Weather: frequencies associated with an airport (ASOS, ATIS, and AWOS).
- VORs: identifier, facility name, city/state/country, location (latitude/longitude), frequency, service volume (high, low, terminal), and type (such as VOR-DME, TACAN, and VORTAC).
- NDBs: identifier, facility name, city/state/country, location (latitude/longitude), and frequency.
- Intersections: identifier, nearest VOR, radial and distance from nearest VOR, location (latitude/longitude), and region/country.
- ARTCC: Air Route Traffic Control Centers.
- Airspace: boundaries (Class B, Class C, Control Zones, SUAs, and MOAs), controlling agency, and vertical boundaries.
- FSS: Flight Service Stations.
- *Symbology used for NDBs, VORs, and airports is consistent with those used on a sectional chart.
