 The
portable, color GPSMAP® 96C, along with GPSMAP 96, 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 96C has a crisp color display, making
map detail easy to read. With 119 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 96C 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 96C 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 96C 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 96C 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
96C is not only waterproof, but also floats!
The GPSMAP 96C: One nav fits all.
