database, and memory for up to 1,000 user-created 

waypoints. The GPSMAP 96 accepts 22MB, while 

the GPSMAP 96C accepts 118MB of MapSource 

data. The Jeppesen database provides position and 

facility information for  airports, VORs, NDBs, and

every 28 days online (www.garmin.com). The update 

program is designed to operate on

country, position (latitude/longitude), field elevation, 

available fuel types, runway designations/layout,
