The GPSMAP 196 from Garmin sets new standards as a versatile navigator for air, land, and sea with detailed moving map graphics, HSI steering guidance, full aviation database (including final approach sequence waypoints) and all the other pilot-friendly features you'd expect from GARMIN.
New features include exceptional resolution and contrast on the 12-level greyscale display, extremely fast map redraws and scrolling and a panel page that graphically represents speed, altitude and heading information. A new scrolling feature also reveals detailed information when the cursor is moved over the basemap.

Additional Product Information
Situational awareness gets a boost from built-in land detail that includes political boundaries, cities, motorways, roads, rivers, and lakes. Navigation guidance is clearly presented through a graphic HSI with VNAV, with extended runway centrelines 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 logbook software (exclusively made for the GPSMAP 196), this feature makes light work of maintaining your logbook.
The GPSMAP 196 compromises nothing in its versatility, moving easily from cockpit to land to water. In fact, it offers some of the features found in expensive in-car navigation systems, including auto routing. In addition to the built-in GARMIN basemap, the GPSMAP 196 accepts most MapSource products.
