The GPSMAP 196 offers
unprecendented features and utility in an aviation portable. In addition
to the built-in Garmin basemap, the GPSMAP 196 accepts all of our
MapSource products, and provides turn-by-turn route guidance for street
navigation. The unit can operate in three different modes; Aviation,
Land, and Water, with user preferences stored independently.
Other
exciting features include a unique "panel page", which offers a graphical depiction of
GPS-derived flight information, and an automatic logbook function that
records departure airports, arrival airports, and flight time (automatically
recording night flight based on sunrise/sunset information). This flight
information is stored in the unit, and can be downloaded to Garmin logbook
software.
The GPSMAP 196's processor provides map redraws and scrolling at over
twice the speed of previous aviation portables.
