| Fly smarter and safer
with the GPSMAP 496 on board. This “know-it-all”
mini-MFD puts more power and information at your
fingertips than any other portable handheld in the
history of aviation. Similar to the GPSMAP 396, the
496 combines satellite data link weather with a
detailed color map and terrain alerting, then takes
it up a notch with even more high-end software and
features. The 496 is a “must have” for any pilot.
View Your Position on Taxiways
Garmin 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 aircraft’s exact position
on the field.
Easily Access AOPA Airport Directory
Look up taxi services, plan an overnight, choose
fuel stops and more with the Aircraft Owners and
Pilots Association (AOPA) Airport Directory included
on the GPSMAP 496. This indispensable reference
guide puts a wealth of airport and travel
information at your fingertips. 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 Smart Airspace™
Alerts
When 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 the pilot’s current
altitude and de-emphasizes airspace away from the
current altitude, which gives you increased
situational awareness.
Navigate with Enhanced Terrain and Aviation
Databases
The GPSMAP 496 features a built-in Jeppesen
database with terrain and obstacle databases. Fly
with informed confidence thanks to the enhanced,
higher-resolution terrain database. With over ten
times as much data as the 396’s terrain database,
the 496 provides even more visual reference. It
monitors your current position in relation to
surrounding terrain to provide alerts. Even
customize your own minimum clearance levels to
receive terrain cautions. With the unit’s Jeppesen®
database, you can view your flight route displayed
over contour terrain mapping. The addition of
private airports and heliports to the database
provides even more navigation and emergency
"nearest" options.
Enjoy Faster Update Rate for Maps and
Indicators
For 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
aircraft’s analog indicators, such as the HSI and
turn coordinator.
Make Informed Decisions with Optional Weather
and Traffic
With an optional subscription to XM WX Satellite
Weather™ and the included GXM 30A smart antenna,
you’ll have access to constantly-updated,
high-resolution weather data for the U.S, right in
the cockpit. Weather information includes Next
Generation Radar (NEXRAD), Aviation Routine Weather
Reports (METARs), Terminal Aerodrome Forecasts (TAFs),
Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs), Lightning and
Winds Aloft, plus more and can be laid directly over
the 496’s Jeppesen and topographic map databases.
Add a Garmin Mode S transponder, and the 496 will
also display TIS traffic alerts that identify
surrounding air traffic.
Navigate by Air, Land or Sea
Garmin’s GPSMAP 496 comes ready to go right out
of the box with preloaded City Navigator® NT street
maps and a hefty points of interest (POIs) database,
including motels, restaurants, fuel, ATMs and more.
Simply enter a destination, and you’re automatically
routed with voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions.
In addition, GPSMAP 496 accepts customized points of
interest such as school zones and safety cameras and
includes proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming
POIs. Add optional BlueChart® g2 data cards, and
turn the 496 into a color chartplotter.
