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!
