Bigger is better with Garmin's new GPSMAP-696. Its
bright, sunlight readable, seven inch display is as crisp
and color rich as any display available in a portable. This
new larger format portable enables a full range of features
not possible on smaller units, including: split screen panel
page with full map, a high resolution terrain page with high
contrast 2D depiction along with a vertical profile of
terrain along your route of flight, and so much more. The
GPSMAP 696 also becomes Garmin's first portable with Victor
airways and Jet routes. Combine those new features with our
built in XM WX module capable of displaying the latest
weather products like Icing Potential and Turbulence
Forecasts, and Pilot Reports (XM/WX Satellite Weather
"Aviator Pro" subscription required for these new weather
products). The XM/WX Aviator package continues to deliver
NEXRAD images with Cell Movement and Echo Tops, in addition
to Winds Aloft, TFR's, graphic and textual Metars, Terminal
Forecasts and more.
The GPSMAP 696 also takes our intuitive, easy-to-use
operations to a new level with an innovative rotary
knob/joystick or "click stick". This G1000-like addition
eliminates rocker pad data entry by providing a much faster
rotary knob which selects alpha-numerics and advances the
cursor with a quick tap of the joystick. The same joystick
makes map panning and waypoint identification on the map
page lightning fast.
Another new feature is a scalable Satellite View of any
location on the Earth. Also included are electronic Garmin
FlightCharts®, which enable the new GPSMAP 696 to
function much like a Class I or Class II Electronic Flight
Bag, thereby reducing the use of paper in the cockpit.
FlightCharts are electronic NACO Terminal Procedures for the
entire US and are preloaded in the unit. The factory
uploaded FlightCharts will disappear after 6 months.
Purchasing a subscription is required for continuous chart
availability. The new flyGarmin.com website will allow
owners to subscribe to FlightCharts and also update all
databases necessary to keep their GPSMAP 696 current in 3
simple steps.
This new top of the line portable retains all the top
features of our industry leading GPSMAP 496, including:
Smart Airspace, AOPA Airport Directory data (US only),
Towers & Obstructions (US and Europe), SafeTaxi (US only)
and 5 Hertz GPS updates.
Also available is the new GPSMAP 695 which includes all
the 696 features excluding XM WX capabilities. The GPSMAP
695 is available in all 3 data base choices; Atlantic,
Pacific and Americas.
