About Garmin GPSMAP 496 Aviation GPS Receiver
Upgrades include: Garmin SafeTaxi data provides detailed taxiway diagrams and position information for over 650 US airports Smart Airspace automatically highlights airspace close to the pilot’s current altitude and de-emphasizes airspace away from the current altitude Built-in AOPA Airport Directory offers detailed listings of over 7,400 US airports, including information about FBOs, ground transportation, local attractions and much more Preloaded automotive street mapping for all of North America, with turn-by-turn voice prompts—no software loading required Enhanced terrain and aviation databases (including private airports) for even better situational awareness Faster 5 Hz GPS updating of map data and “panel page” gives a smoother, nearly real-time presentation of turn coordinator and HSI. Weather—Like the 396, the new Garmin 496 displays XM’s revolutionary satellite datalink weather, including NEXRAD radar images, METARs, TAFs, TFRs, satellite imagery, ground-based lightning and much more. All of this weather information can be overlaid on the map display. Terrain—The 496 features Garmin’s impressive terrain warning system, which shows the relative height of all nearby terrain and obstacles. It even offers pop-up alerts with voice warnings. Navigation—You’ve come to expect incredibly accurate navigation information from Garmin GPSs, and the 496 is no different. The bright, colorful moving map display and the smooth “panel page” offer superb situational awareness and plenty of customization options. And the easy-to-use automotive mapping means the 496 is just as useful in the car as in the plane. Traffic—When connected to a Garmin GTX 330 Mode S transponder or a Zaon PCAS XRX, the Garmin 496 will even display traffic. Each target is displayed on the map page, and the 496 will also issue pop up alerts for aircraft that are a threat. It’s truly a portable multi-function display.
