WAAS-capable unit has detailed moving map graphics, HSI steering
guidance,a Jeppesen database, and all the other pilot-friendly
features you'dexpect from Garmin. You'll be amazed at the exceptional
resolution and contrast on this unit's 12-level grayscale display,
and its lightning-fast processor makes for extremely fast map
redraws and scrolling. Situational awareness gets a boost from
built-in land detail that includes political boundaries, cities,
interstates, roads, rivers, and lakes. Steering guidance is clearly
presented through a graphic HSI with VNAV, with extended runway
centerlines 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'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 GPSMAP 196 Flightbook software at any time.The
GPSMAP 196 compromises nothing in its versatility, going from
cockpit to land to water. In fact, it offers some of the same
features found in expensive in-dash car navigation systems, including
auto routing. In addition to the built-in Garmin basemap, the
GPSMAP 196 accepts most of our MapSource™ products.Features include: GPSMAP 295 Mapping details on GARMIN's GPSMAP 295 provide a clear picture
of the ground below. Its big, 4-inch (diagonal) 16-color display
makes it easy to distinguish SUAs from highways, or VORs from
nearby towns. Move the cursor to one of those SUAs and the name,
controlling agency, and vertical boundaries pop-up. Meanwhile
a "vector to final" feature offers the finest situational awareness
on approach. Like all GARMIN portables, the GPSMAP 295 is pilot
configurable. You can split the screen to keep an eye on an HSI
graphic while tracking your progress on the moving map. You can
also store up to 30 locations in a personal favorites list for
quick access to those frequently traveled spots. Installation
options are equally handy. Mount the 295 on the yoke for convenient
one-thumb operation, or attach it to the glareshield in a heads-up
configuration. Your choice. Since the GPSMAP 295 is CD-ROM compatible,
you also enjoy virtually unlimited mapping utility. Load city-specific
data into your 295 from a MapSource™ CD accessory, transfer the
unit to your car, and you'll navigate to a restaurant on the ground
as easily as you follow a flight plan in the air. The GPSMAP 295–brilliant

of safety. VFR charting function generates sectional-like maps
with airports, VORs, NDBs, intersections, user waypoints, airspace
topographical details, highways, the flight plan route, and more. IFR
charting function generates IFR enroute maps with navaids, and
more. Terrain Awareness charting function combines world wide
elevation database with GPS position inputs. Lightning function
has full BF Goodrich WX500 compatibility, displaying lightning
strikes relative to track of the aircraft. Custom overlay function
let pilot customize the MX20 by combining some or all of the charting
options on one display. Flight plan function provides a summary
page for the active plan including bearing, distance, time to
waypoints with database information about each waypoint.
GNS480 Integrated Avionics System Features The Garmin GNS480 takes a Quantum Leap into the future of airborne
navigation. The GNS480 is by far the most advanced integrated
avionics system designed for general aviation. The unit is approved
for primary navigation and includes the industry’s first certified
WAAS/GPS navigator opening up thousands of airports in IFR conditions. Garmin GNS 530 GPS/NAV/Comm The Garmin GNS 530 represents the single biggest idea in integrated
avionics in years. Traditionally, it would take a host of components
to provide the capabilities represented in this one sophisticated
box. It is a WAAS upgradeable IFR GPS, com, VOR, LOC and glide-slope
with color moving map all rolled into one. A TSO'd VHF comm offers
a choice of 25 kHz or 8.33 kHz spacing for 760 or 3040 channel
configuration respectively. A huge Jeppesen database (which can
be updated with front-loading data cards) contains all airports,
VORs, NDBs, Intersections, FSS, Approach, SIDs/STARs and SUA information.
The GNS 530 makes practical use of this information with features
like intelligent frequency nomination. GPS 400 The GPS 400 takes the best in Garmin GPS design and combines it
with a full-color moving map for the best in situational awareness
in this GPS only unit. The map features a built-in all-land database
that shows cities, highways, railroads, rivers, lakes and coastlines,
in addition to a Jeppesen database in bright colors. Thanks to
a high-contrast color display, the information can be easily read
from wide viewing angles even in direct sunlight. Like the GNC
420, the GPS 400 is also TSO C129a certified for a non-precision
approach. GPS 500 Garmin® GNC® 300XL TSO GNC 420XL GPS/COMM With the GNC 420, Garmin has taken the navigation accuracy of
a GPS and combined it with a 10-watt Comm and a color display
to make the first color GPS/comm in the industry. With its frequency
nomination feature, pilots can easily load their next Comm frequency
into standby with the touch of a button. Additionally, the GNC
420 is a self-contained unit–meaning annunciation is included
in one box–eliminating the need and additional expense of a separate
annunciation unit. The GNC 420 is also TSO C129a certified for
a non-precision approach. GPS 155XL Announcing a new panel-mounted navigator: the GPS 155XL TSO. This
unit is IFR approach certified under TSO C129a A1 and offers a
very high definition moving map. This development marries two
of Garmin's product development strengths: crisp, high-detail
moving map technology and Garmin's legacy of proven, approach-certified
IFR GPS receivers. GPS 150XL One of two new panel-mount navigators, the 150XL merges the industry's
most popular VFR GPS navigator–the GPS 150–with state-of-the-art
moving map graphics. The display LCD is more than four times as
many pixels as competitors' panel-mount products, allowing SUAs
to actually appear as curved rings and making alphanumeric characters
more easily distinguishable. The GPS 150XL and the GNC 250XL also
employ powerful 12-channel GPS receivers, making them the first
VFR panel-mounted units in the marketplace to use the patented
12 parallel channel receiver. GNC 250XL GPS/COMM The GNC 250XL features front-loading data cartridges for easy
Jeppesen updating. The display LCD allows SUAs to actually appear
as curved rings and making alphanumeric characters more easily
distinguishable. GNC 250XL employs the powerful 12-channel GPS
receivers making it one of the first VFR panel-mounted units
in the marketplace to use the patented PhaseTrac12 GPS. The GPS
150XL being the other. Garmin GNS 430 GPS/NAV/Comm The most versatile panel-mounted product of GARMIN'S. It combines
GPS navigation, VHF communication, and moving map graphics on
a big color display.The "all in one box" 12-channel unit has IFR
GPS, ILS, VOR, LOC and glideslopecapability in a single, space-saving
package.This unit has a footprint of only 5 1/2 inches high. The
integration of so many functions makes this latest aviation product
like no other. It will be ready for delivery in early 1999 and
is expected to have achieved no fewer than 6 TSO's from the FAA by
that time. The GNS 430, which is designed as the first in a line
of new aviation products, hasplenty of growth potential as it
is designed for LAAS and WAAS compatibility. GPSMAP 96 and GPSMAP 96C
The GPSMAP 296 builds on the tradition of Garmin aviation handhelds like the
GPSMAP 196 and GPSMAP 295. New features like terrain cautions
and alerts, sectional chart-like topographic data, a built-in
obstacle database of the U.S., and a transparent navigation arc
view for course, speed, and distance information lead the list
of advances. The GPSMAP 296 also features USB data transfer, faster
processing speed, and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack.
Press a button, and you have your choice of the unit's automotive
or marine modes.
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.
Garmin delivers terrain awareness in an intuitive Terrain mode
on the GPSMAP 296. The unit combines GPS position, GPS altitude
and topographical mapping to give pilots a vivid depiction of
potential terrain hazards.

Add to this a high resolution, sunlight readable moving-map display
with 256 color combinations and our award winning VHF Nav/Comm
with VOR Nav, localizer, and glide slope receivers all integrated
in one compact package. The GNS480 frees up precious panel space
with added functionality to control a remote mounted transponder.
The GNS480 is setting the standard for integrated avionics.
The FAA’s new Wide Area Augmentation System or WAAS dramatically
improves the accuracy, integrity, and availability of GPS. The
GNS480 incorporates a new 15-channel WAAS receiver designed by
Garmin specifically for airborne applications. GPS position is
computed 5 times per second with vertical and horizontal accuracy
of 2-meters, improving safety while dramatically increasing cockpit
capabilities.
Capabilities like primary navigation during the en route, terminal,
and approach phases of flight enabling the use of GPS for approach
procedures with vertical guidance into 100’s and eventually 1,000’s
of airports without an existing precision approach. And in the
very near future you will be able to use the GNS480 to fly new
GLS approaches providing the accuracy and safety of an ILS. WAAS
is just the start of a long list of GNS480 features and benefits.
The navigator is loaded with the most advanced features ever developed
starting with Airway depiction and navigation. Included in the
comprehensive Jeppesen database are pre-stored navaids, airspace,
all DP’s and STAR’s, Instrument Approach Procedures including
ILS’s, holding patterns, procedure turns, and missed approach
procedures. Available at your fingertips this information can
be entered into any flight plan, but what makes the GNS480 different
from other navigators is the unit’s ability to provide guidance
on these procedures and approaches from takeoff rotation to landing
flare.
The brilliant colors of the GNS 530's 5" display make the pilot-critical
information easy to read and interpret. It's especially true of
the 530's basemap. You enjoy enhanced situational awareness by
seeing your position relative to cities, highways, railroads,
rivers, lakes and coastlines. But even more important, the appropriate
use of color separates land data, terminal areas, route, and approach
information for easy pilot scanning and reduced pilot workload.
Simply put, the GNS 530 incorporates advanced procedure types
usually found only in high-end FMS systems.
The GNS 530's intuitive software and logical layout prove that
this is a system built for pilots, by pilots. So much information.
So easy to use. The GNS 530. It'll change the way you look at
avionics.
Today's Garmin® GNC® 300XL TSO takes its place with other navigation and communication pioneers,
combining a powerful 12 parallel channel receiver with a 760 channel
VHF transceiver with a C129a, A1 IFR certified moving map GPS/comm.
This marries two of Garmin's product development strengths: crisp,
high-detail moving map technology and Garmin's legacy of proven,
approach-certified IFR GPS receivers.
The GNC 300XL TSO's Moving Map is exceptionally sharp, with the
familiar yellow-on-black DSTN (doublesuper twist nematic) LCD
display that won rave reviews in the VFR-only GPS 150XL and GNC
250XL. Individual pixels in these displays are transparent to
the viewer, and SUAs actually appear as curved rings, with easily
distinguishable alphanumeric characters and a high-resolution
display that's readable from every angle in all lighting conditions.
A photocell in the display automatically controls the intensity
of the backlight and will reverse the display from black-on-yellow
to yellow-on-black for maximum contrast in daylight or nighttime
viewing. Aviators can also choose to make these adjustments manually
depending on their individual preferences.
The GPS 500 is for serious IFR pilots who want big-picture situational awareness.
With its FMS-like attributes, the GPS 500 can simultaneously give
aviators vital approach information and weather and traffic data
in relation to their position on a large, color moving map display.
Pilots will enjoy the GPS 500 as an MFD, especially when it is
coupled with traffic, lightning detection, and weather interfaces
like Ryan TCAD, BFGoodrich SKYWATCH™ and STORMSCOPE® WX 500, and
soon the Garmin GDL 49 data link transceiver.
The GPS 500 vividly presents critical flight data in a manner
that pilots and aircraft owners have come to expect in Garmin
panel-mount avionics. Its color moving map features a built-in
database that shows cities, highways, railroads, rivers, lakes,
coastlines, and a complete Jeppesen database – all in high-contrast
colors. The GPS 500 is TSO C129a certified for GPS non-precision
approaches and will be WAAS-upgradable.
The moving map on the GPS 155XL TSO is exceptionally sharp. The
DSTN (double super twist nematic) LCD is the familiar yellow-on-black
display that found success in the VFR-only GPS 150XL and GNC 250XL.
Individual pixels in these displays are transparent to the viewer,
and SUAs actually appear as curved rings and alphanumeric characters
are easily distinguishable.
The high-resolution display is readable from every angle in all
lighting conditions. A photocell in the display automatically
controls the intensity of the backlight and will reverse the display
from black-on-yellow to yellow-on-black for maximum contrast in
daylight or nighttime viewing. Users may also choose to make these
adjustments manually according to their individual preferences.
