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.
