Main Page Sequence

The GPSMAP 196 features four main pages, which are linked together in series. You can quickly 

cycle through these pages — in either direction — using the 

PAGE

 and 

QUIT

 keys. Each one of these 

pages is described in greater detail in the Pilot’s Guide.

To display the next page in the sequence, press  PAGE.

To display the previous page in the sequence, press  QUIT.

The above sequence illustrates the pages for the ‘Aviation’ mode. As you become more familiar with 

the GPSMAP 196, you will fi nd that using both the 

PAGE

 and 

QUIT

 keys allows you to quickly select 

the desired page. For example, to quickly jump from the Map page to the Panel page, press the 

PAGE 

key; to return from the Panel page to the Map page, press the 

QUIT

key.

In ‘Land’ mode, the page sequence is slightly different, as illustrated below:

Position Page

Map Page

Panel Page

 Active Route Page

Map Page

RMI (Radio Magnetic Indicator) Page

Current Route Page

Position Page

When on the Panel page (default setting in the Aviation mode), you 

can select the  HSI (Horizontal Situation Indicator) page to appear in 

the main page sequence in place of the Panel page by pressing on the 

MENU

 key, selecting ‘Setup Page Layout’, then selecting ‘Panel’.
