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.
Like all of Garmins 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. An added bonus: The
GPSMAP 96 is not only waterproof, but also floats!
