Flight planning on the GPSMAP 695/696 consists of building a flight plan by 

entering waypoints one at a time and inserting approaches as needed.  The flight plan 
is displayed on maps using different line widths, colors, and types, based on the type 
of leg and the segment of the flight plan currently being flown.

Up to 50 flight plans with up to 300 waypoints each can be created and stored 

in memory.  One flight plan can be activated at a time and becomes the active flight 
plan.  The active flight plan is erased when the destination is reached and the system 
is turned off.  When storing flight plans with an approach, the GPSMAP 695/696 
uses the waypoint information from the current database to define the waypoints.  If 
the database is changed or updated, the GPSMAP 695/696 automatically updates 
the information if the procedure has not been modified.  If an approach is no longer 
available, the procedure is deleted from the affected stored flight plan(s), and an alert 
is displayed.

Whenever an approach is loaded into the active flight plan it replaces the destination 

airport with a sequence of waypoints for the selected approach.  The airport must have 
a published instrument approach and only the final course segment  (usually from final 
approach fix to missed approach point) of the published approach is available in the 
GPSMAP 695/696.

By default, the Data Fields on the Active and Saved Flight Plan Pages are set to 

display Leg Desired Track (LEG DTK), Leg Distance (LEG DIS), and Leg Estimated Time 
En Route (LEG ETE) or Leg Estimate Safe Altitude (LEG ESA) for a Saved Flight Plan.  
The first two Data Fields can be changed using the Page Menu.  The last Data Field can 
be changed using the FMS Joystick.

From the Active Flight Plan Page or the Saved Flight Plan Page, move the 
FMS Joystick (right or left) to quickly change the third data field.
