Garmin 495 Guida Utente

Basic Operation in Aviation Mode > 

Selecting an Approach

  CAUTION: The approaches provided in the Jeppesen database 

are for monitoring purposes only. The GPSMAP 495 is not an 

IFR-approved instrument and should not be used as a primary 

source of navigation guidance in instrument conditions.

When you select an approach, it replaces the destination airport with 

the sequence of waypoints for the selected approach. Keep in mind 

that the airport must have a published approach (GPS, RNAV, VOR, 

NDB, localizer, or ILS) and only the final course segment (usually 

from final approach fix to missed approach point) of the published 

approach is available in the GPSMAP 495.

  NOTE: When using a route, the selected approach for the 

destination airport overrides your current route. The original 

route is saved in the Route tab.

You can select an approach several ways: 

Press Direct To   and press MENU on the Go To Page, as 

described in the steps to the right.
From the Active Go To (or Active Route) Page, press MENU.
From the Airport Details Page, select the Approach tab.
