CALL FOR PRICING

The GPSMAP196 is a versatile navigator for air, land, and sea.

This WAAS-capable unit has detailed moving map graphics, HSI steering guidance, a Jeppesen database, and all the other pilot-friendly features you'd expect from Garmin. You'll be amazed at the exceptional resolution and contrast on this unit's 12-level grayscale display, and its lightning-fast processor makes for extremely fast map redraws and scrolling.

Situational awareness gets a boost from built-in land detail that includes political boundaries, cities, interstates, roads, rivers, and lakes. Steering guidance is clearly presented through a graphic HSI with VNAV, with extended runway centerlines to help orient you to the runway. 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 GPSMAP196 Flightbook software at any time.

The GPSMAP196 compromises nothing in its versatility, going from cockpit to land to water. In fact, it offers some of the same features found in expensive in-dash car navigation systems, including auto routing. In addition to the built-in Garmin basemap, the GPSMAP196 accepts most of our MapSource® products.

Features include:

  • Unique panel page graphically displays flight information
  • Logbook feature automatically records departure airports, arrival airports, and flight time, all of which can downloaded to free Flightbook software
  • Extended runway centerlines display on a moving map
  • Split-screen moving map and HSI display
  • Three distinct modes: Aviation, Land, and Water
  • Turn-by-turn automotive routing
  • Advanced scrolling feature reveals detailed information when rolling the cursor over the built-in basemap.
  • Large (3.8-diagonal) 12-level grayscale display in a slim package
  • Fast processor provides map redraws and scrolling at over twice the speed of previous aviation portables
