Garmin 495 Guida Utente

Basic Operation in Aviation Mode > 

Selecting an Approach

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 495 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. 

The GPSMAP 495 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 magenta line. 

If No is selected for the Vectors? option, the GPSMAP 495 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. 

A turn is usually required as you cross each waypoint. 

  CAUTION: Steep Turns are not allowed on an IFR (Instrument 

Flight Rules) approach. Follow the approach plate or air traffic 

control instructions to complete the approach without a steep 

turn. 

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.
