Garmin 495 Guida Utente

Basic Operation in Aviation Mode > 

Following your Flight Plan

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

GPSMAP 495 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.

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 magenta line. The airplane should be on top of the 

magenta line as you move. When you are on the magenta line, you 

are directly on course. For complete information about the Map 

Page and the features of the Map Page, see 

. 

  NOTE: In Aviation (and Marine) Mode, the Go To line and 

navigation guidance are fixed. The From point is the location 

where the Go To was initiated. In Automotive Mode, the Go To 

line on the map is constantly updated to your present location. 

Press PAGE to open the Terrain Page, and watch the changes in the 

terrain and the obstacles you are flying over. Terrain and obstacles 

that are less than 100 feet from your aircraft are shown in red. For 

complete information, see 

.

You can use the Panel Page to view the HSI, your bearing to the 

course, and other information such as speed, altitude, and ETA. Use 

the compass in the center of the page to determine if you are on the 

proper course. Also, you can help keep the aircraft within the VNAV 

profile when viewing the VNAV indicator. For complete information 

about the Panel Page, see 

.

As you travel, a variety of alerts appear on your current page, such 

as Airspace, Terrain, Obstacle, and Descent Rate Alerts. When 

an Airspace Alert pops up, press NRST to view the Airspace 

Information. When a Terrain or Obstacle alert pops up, press

PAGE or NRST to open the Terrain Page. From here you can view 

any terrain and obstacles that might become a problem. Possible 

points-of-impact are shown as Xs. Adjust your altitude to avoid the 

obstacles and terrain.
