GPSMAP
®
396 specifications
Combining color moving map and terrain alerting features with
the latest in satellite datalink graphical weather, Garmin’s new
GPSMAP
®
396 is one amazing flight visualization tool.
With its integrated GXM 30 Smart Antenna and built-in satellite
receiver, the GPSMAP 396 lets you track the same near-real-time
weather picture in the cockpit that your favorite meterologist is
watching on the ground. Crisp, high-resolution color graphics
bring you detailed NEXRAD radar imaging and METARs, as well
as current reports on precipitation, lightning, winds aloft, airport
terminal forecasts and more. You can even connect the GPSMAP
396 to your Garmin Mode S transponder for display of TIS traffic
targets and information.
The unit’s built-in Jeppesen
®
database provides detailed moving-
map views of your flight route, displayed over realistic topography.
And for added safety, a database-driven terrain advisory feature
offers TAWS-like color coding and pop-up alerts when possible
obstructions ro ground proximity conflicts loom ahead.
There’s even an inflight entertainment option, with XM Satellite
Radio bringing you over 150 channels of music, news, sports, and
more - for output through your cabin audio system.
The Garmin GPSMAP 396: For “big picture” navigation in a
portable format, nothing else even comes close.
