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!
