 The
portable GPSMAP® 96, along with the color
GPSMAP 96C, integrate full-featured GPS navigation with a
Jeppesen database and comprehensive towers-and-obstacles
database — giving pilots the freedom to go anywhere.
The pilot-friendly GPSMAP 96 has a bright, sunlight-readable,
4-level grayscale display, making map detail easy to read. With
23 megabytes of memory and a mini-USB port, users can quickly
download and store map data from a variety of optional MapSource
CD-ROMs. Its simple one-thumb keypad control literally puts the
world of GPS capability in the palm of your hand.
Whether on land, sea, or air, the GPSMAP 96 is the smart,
versatile way to get there:
- Extensive Jeppesen database
includes airports, identifiers and services
- Comprehensive U.S. database of
obstacles and towers helps alert pilots of potential hazards
- Graphic HSI steering cues with
GPS-derived VNAV provide added orientation
- Built-in autoroute basemap and
optional MapSource marine, topo and city street mapping
downloads let you move seamlessly from plane to car to boat to
hiking boots.
The GPSMAP 96 offers an extensive Jeppesen database along
with a U.S. database of obstacles for the ultimate in moving-map
situational awareness. It depicts Jeppesen® airport data
overlaid on an electronic map, localizer-like runway extensions,
a GPS-derived horizontal situation indicator (HSI) and
information on nearby airports (including identifier, bearing
and distance to each). It also features a detailed database of
nearby obstructions like radio towers and high-rise buildings.
Using symbology, it depicts an obstacle along the flight
route, giving pilots a visual cue and alerting them to potential
hazards ahead.
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 Flightbook software at any time.
Like all of Garmin's new aviation portables, the GPSMAP 96
also provides advanced navigation capabilities on the road or
water. It features a built-in basemap depicting highways, major
roads, lakes, rivers, railroads and state and national borders.
It also provides automatic-route generation, off-route
recalculation, and turn-by-turn directions with audible tones to
alert the driver of upcoming turns.
When coupled with optional MapSource City Select® software,
GPSMAP 96 enables the user to locate and route to more than 5
million points of interest, including hotels, restaurants,
service stations, ATMs and more. For pilots who also like to
captain a boat, these units have a Marine mode. Using optional
MapSource BlueChart® or Recreational Lakes with Fishing Hot
Spots® software, users can navigate the high seas or nearby
lakes with ease. An added bonus: The GPSMAP 96 is not only
waterproof, but also floats!
