Garmin 196 Manuale Utente
Following your Flight Plan
When you have created and started your flight plan (or route), the
GPSMAP 296 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
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.
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.
