The GPSMAP 196 is a powerful aviation portable that acts like a panel but goes from cockpit to land to water without missing a beat. With its crisp, grayscale screen, the 196 is an affordable introduction to Garmin's portable aviation products. A built-in logbook tracks your flying hours and automatically records departure and arrival locations. When used with Garmin's free logbook software FlightBook, this feature simplifies record keeping. Flightbook software allows you to create, manage, analyze, save and print flight data from GPSMAP 196's logbook. Simply press a button to switch GPSMAP 196 to automotive or marine mode. The 196 comes with a built-in routable basemap. Add optional MapSource® 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 196 with optional marine cartography. Easily add detailed maps with plug and play Garmin data cards.
