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!
