· Interfaces: Interface with PC-based moving map programs using
NMEA 0183 output, with Differential GPS (DGPS) receivers using
RTCM (SC-104 version 2.0) input, or with marine autopilots and
graphic plotters using NMEA 0180/0182/0183 outputs. An optional
PC kit is also available to download user waypoints and routes to your
PC for permanent record.
We encourage you to read this manual and experiment using the built-in
simulator. This will help you quickly master the many features of the GPS 95.
1.2 AVIATION DATABASE
The GPS 95 features a Jeppesen database providing direct access to either
Americas or International navigation information. When the GPS 95 is turned
on the display will show which database the unit contains. Information
contained in the database is as follows:
· Airports: Identifier, city/state, country, facility name, latitude, longitude,
elevation, and fuel services.
· VORs: Identifier, city/state, country, facility name, latitude, longitude,
frequency and co-located DME (or TACAN).
· NDBs: Identifier, city/state, country, facility name, latitude, longitude
and frequency.
· Intersections: Identifier, country, latitude and longitude.
· Communication Frequencies: ATIS, ground, tower multicom and
unicom. (Multicom and unicom frequencies are grouped together
under a “unicom” designation.)
· Runways: Runway designations, length, surface, lighting (including
frequency for pilot-controlled lighting), and graphic runway configuration.
The Americas Database covers North, Central and South America. The
International Database covers Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia and Greenland.
(Hawaii is contained within both database versions.) Updates for the GPS
95 database, available every 28 days, may be purchased from GARMIN on
a one-time basis or by subscription service. When ordering your first update,
a cable is also required for connection to a PC-compatible computer. (Order
cable separately at time of purchase.) Database update software will
automatically transfer the latest information into your GPS 95 making the
update process quick and simple. Your local GARMIN dealer may also be
equipped to update the database for you.
