Garmin 196 Guida Utente

The Vectors? Option, which appears after you select an approach, 

determines how you navigate to the final approach waypoint. 
If you select Yes, the GPSMAP 196 creates an extension of the final 

course, beyond the final approach waypoint in the database (final 

approach fix [FAF]). On the Active Route Page, a Vector to Final 

symbol appears beside the first approach waypoint. 

Using vectors in the approach

The GPSMAP 196 provides no guidance to the inbound course. 

The course deviation needle on the graphic HSI remains off-center 

until you are established on this final approach course. The HSI 

automatically slews (rotates to show the direction) to the inbound 

course. The Map Page shows an extension of the final approach 

course using a bold line. 

If No is selected for the Vectors? Option, the GPSMAP 196 creates 

a straight-line course directly to the first waypoint in the approach 

(from wherever you are when you initiate the approach). This works 

much like any other route with course guidance from point to point 

and a turn usually required as you cross each waypoint. 

If air traffic control clears your approach to an airport, loading the 

approach cancels your Direct To and initiates a route to the FAF. 

Load the approach only when cleared by air traffic control.
You can cancel an approach and/or vectors several ways: 

•  Press the Direct To  , and press MENU on the Goto Page.
•  From the Active Goto (or Active Route) Page, press MENU.
To cancel the vectors and/or approach:

1.  Press the 

Direct To   to show the Goto Page. Or, open the 

Active Route Page. Press 

MENU to open the options menu. 

2.  Highlight 

Cancel Approach, and press ENTER to cancel 

the entire approach. If you enabled Vectors, highlight 

Vectors, and press ENTER to navigate directly to the FAF.
