GPSMAP
®
296 specifications
Now, terrain awareness doesn’t have to be so steep. Thanks to
the affordable Garmin GPSMAP 296 color portable with
built-in terrain mapping and alerting.
Detailed sectional chart-style shaded mapping and an extensive
Jeppesen
®
database help you visualize your flight path in
relation to nearby navaids, terrain, SUAs, obstructions, etc.
Plus, you can put the unit in “Terrain” mode for TAWS-like
warnings and alerts when proximity conflicts loom ahead.
Since nearly 40 percent of all aircraft accidents are a result of
Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT), the “look ahead” hazard
alerting features of the GPSMAP 296 can provide that extra
margin of safety you need to make timely terrain avoidance
decisions and maneuvers.
For added versatility, optional MapSource
®
CD downloads and
user-selectable formats let you transfer this portable GPS from
plane to boat to automobile without missing a beat.
Airways, highways or waterways – Garmin’s go-anywhere
GPSMAP 296 is one world-class navigation value.
