Garmin aera™500 and aera™550®. TOUCH SCREEN AVIATION PORTABLE. With Garmin's new aera™ series portables, fingertip navigation is now a reality. On screen menus that simplify the pilot interface and eliminates knobs and buttons. The automotive mode and pre loaded street maps for New Zealand + Australia lets you think in terms of door-to-door guidance, not just runway-to-runway. The graphical Terrain page offers both overhead and vertical profile views of the topography you’re flying over. The IFR map mode lets you display and navigate on high or low enroute airways. You can also pull up MEAs (Minimum Enroute Altitudes) and distances between intersections by touching the airway on the map. You can use the aera™ to load frequencies into your Garmin SL40 or Icom IC-A210 VHF Comm. Image Gallery

Garmin GPSMAP695®. See the Big Picture. The GPSMAP 695’s bright 7-inch diagonal high-definition sunlight-readable display makes detailed mapping easy to see day or night — you can even view an entire approach plate on the large-format display. For easy operation, the bezel around the screen includes soft keys and a joystick control. And with a fast 5 Hz GPS update rate, the 695 renders graphics and presents flight data smoothly and continuously. No Chart? No Problem. With the addition of Garmin FliteCharts®¹ and IFR map mode, the GPSMAP 695 has Class 1/Class 2 electronic flight bag (EFB) capability, reducing the use of paper charts in the cockpit. (Note: Flitecharts® are not available for New Zealand - Yet). Enhance Situational Awareness The GPSMAP 695 features a high-resolution terrain page showing hazards relative to your altitude and a vertical profile of terrain along your route of flight. It comes with a built-in Jeppesen database, and an Americas, Atlantic or Pacific terrain database. It also includes an obstacles database for the U.S. or Europe (Note: Not New Zealand). Using this information, the 695 displays your flight route over contour terrain mapping. With information from the terrain and obstacles databases, the 695 monitors your current position in relation to surrounding terrain to provide alerts. You can even customize your own minimum clearance levels to receive terrain cautions. The 695 also comes with a realistic “view from space” satellite imagery basemap.

Garmin GPSMAP® 495

Finally, an upgrade for the GPSMAP296 is available for the pacific region. The 495 has all the features of the 296 but with the added benefit of the update rate and interface options of the 496.

Add Traffic Awareness
Interface the 495 with a Zaon XRX PCAS (Portable Collision Avoidance System) to get near real time traffic data overlaid on the map page.

Enjoy Faster Update Rate
For added realism and safety, the 495 updates map data and "Panel" page instruments at 5 Hz, a significantly faster update rate that gives you a smoother, near “real-time” presentation of your aircraft’s analog indicators, such as the HSI and turn coordinator

Receive Altitude-Sensitive Alerts
When in the air, Garmin’s Smart Airspace feature makes it easier than ever to identify what airspace lies ahead. Smart Airspace automatically highlights airspace close to your current altitude and de-emphasizes airspace well above or below your altitude, which gives you increased situational awareness.

Enhance Situational Awareness
GPSMAP 495 features a built-in Jeppesen database and a Pacific terrain database. It also includes an obstacles database for the U.S. or Europe [Obstacle Database does not cover NZ]. Using this information, the 495 displays your flight route over contour terrain mapping. The higher-resolution terrain database includes over ten times as much data as the 296’s for even more visual reference. With information from the terrain and obstacles databases, the 495 monitors your current position in relation to surrounding terrain to provide alerts. Even customize your own minimum clearance levels to receive terrain cautions. The addition of private airports and heliports to the database provides even more navigation and emergency "nearest" options. [Private NZ airports and Helipads may not be in the database]. Add a Garmin Mode S transponder, and the 495 will display TIS traffic alerts that identify surrounding air traffic [Note: TIS service is currently not available in NZ].

Navigate by Air, Land or Sea
Simply press a button to switch GPSMAP 495 to automotive or marine mode. The 495 comes with a built-in routable basemap. Add optional MapSource® City Navigator® detailed street maps to receive voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions to addresses and points of interest. For a great day on the water, customize the waterproof 495 with optional BlueChart® marine cartography.

DISCONTINUED PRODUCT

Garmin GPSMAP® 296

builds on the tradition of Garmin aviation handhelds like the GPSMAP 196 and GPSMAP 295. New features like terrain cautions and alerts, sectional chart-like topographic data, a built-in obstacle database of the U.S., and a transparent navigation arc view for course, speed, and distance information lead the list of advances. The GPSMAP 296 also features USB data transfer, faster processing speed, and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack. Press a button, and you have your choice of the unit's automotive or marine modes.
An automatic logbook also calculates your flight time and automatically records departure and arrival locations. When used with Garmin's free logbook software—FlightBook—this feature makes light work of maintaining your logbook. Your flight information will be stored in the unit and can be downloaded to this exclusive Flightbook software at any time.
Garmin delivers terrain awareness in an intuitive Terrain mode on the GPSMAP 296. The unit combines GPS position, GPS altitude and topographical mapping to give pilots a vivid depiction of potential terrain hazards.
The GPSMAP 296 can be panel mounted using an aftermarket panel mount adaptor which holds the GPS securely in the panel and yet allows easy removal when required.

Pilots gain terrain awareness in a number of ways:

• Terrain and obstacle information
• By using visual cues and tone alerts, pilots can be aware of potentially dangerous terrain or obstacle conflicts along the current flight path. The unit also offers a configurable look-ahead warning function which gives the pilot additional time to make critical decisions.
• Configurable buffer zones
• The pilot can set the minimum limits to receive terrain cautions. The unit then presents potential hazards in yellow (to indicate ground proximity of 500-1000 feet) and red (to indicate ground proximity of 100 feet or less). Obstacles database
• Pop-up alerts
• Terrain proximity cautions and alerts pop up as digital thumbnail images in the lower left-hand corner of any page whenever a potential hazard conflict looms ahead.

Garmin GPSMAP 196

This WAAS-capable unit has detailed moving map graphics, HSI steering guidance, a Jeppesen database, and all the other pilot-friendly features you'd expect from Garmin. You'll be amazed at the exceptional resolution and contrast on this unit's 12-level grayscale display, and its lightning-fast processor makes for extremely fast map redraws and scrolling.

Situational awareness gets a boost from built-in land detail that includes political boundaries, cities, interstates, roads, rivers, and lakes. Steering guidance is clearly presented through a graphic HSI with VNAV, with extended runway centerlines to help orient you to the runway. An automatic logbook also calculates your flight time and automatically records departure and arrival locations. When used with Garmin's free logbook software—FlightBook—this feature makes light work of maintaining your logbook. Your flight information will be stored in the unit and can be downloaded to this exclusive GPSMAP 196 Flightbook software at any time.
