Garmin 396 Guida Utente

This section explains how to enter and select information with the 

GPSMAP 396. To switch between Aviation, Marine, and Automotive 

Modes, press and hold PAGE. Use the ROCKER to select a mode, 

and press ENTER. 

The GPSMAP 396 unit’s advanced keypad system is designed to 

allow quick, convenient selection of navigation options and data 

entry. As you progress through this Pilot’s Guide, you will often be 

directed to press a specific key or highlight a field on the screen. 

When you are directed to press a key, you should press and quickly 

release the key. If the key needs to be held down for a period of time 

to start a secondary function, the instructions tell you to do so. When 

a field is selected on the screen, it is highlighted in yellow. The 

location of the highlight is controlled by the ROCKER.  
The following features are referred to throughout this manual:
Highlight—move the highlighted area on the screen up, down, left, 

or right with the ROCKER to select individual fields. Moving the 

highlight to a given location allows you to make a selection, begin 

data entry, or scroll through a list. 

Field—the location on a page where data or an option can be 

entered and shown. Select (highlight) a field using the ROCKER to 

begin entering data or selecting options.
On-Screen Button—use the ROCKER to highlight a button and 

press ENTER to select the button. 
Scroll Bar—when viewing a list of items too long to show on 

the screen, a scroll bar appears along the right side of the list. 

The location of the scroll bar indicates which portion of the list is 

currently shown. To scroll through a list, press up or down on the 

ROCKER.
Default—the factory setting saved in the unit’s memory. You can 

change the settings as you like, but you can also revert to the factory 

(default) settings when you select Restore Defaults.
