Garmin 196 Guida Utente

Following your Flight Plan

When you have created and started your ﬂight plan (or route), the

GPSMAP 196 guides you to the destination using a variety of tools.

NOTE: After you perform an update to your Jeppesen Database,

verify that all of your ﬂight plans (routes) in your unit are still

current. If there is an obsolete Jeppesen aviation point in a saved

route, the route is locked and unusable. You need to create a new

route with current Jeppesen Database points.

Track Your Progress on the Map Page

On the Map Page, your current location is shown as an airplane (when

in Aviation Mode). You can see how the airplane moves across the map;

this is a graphic view of your ﬂight. Your route is marked with a dark

line. The airplane should be on top of the dark line as you move. When

you are on the dark line, you are directly on course.

NOTE: In Aviation (and Water) Mode, the Goto line and

navigation guidance are ﬁxed. The From point is the location

where the Goto was initiated. In Land Mode, the Goto line on the

map is constantly updated to your present location.
