GPSMAP 296 comes with a detailed built-in Jeppesen® database along with terrain and U.S. obstacle databases. Using this information, the 296 provides detailed views of your flight route, displayed over realistic topography. For added safety, you can put the unit in Terrain mode for TAWS-like warnings and alerts when proximity conflicts loom ahead. Viewing the display in any light is easy, thanks to the unit’s 256-color, high-resolution (320 x 480-pixel) sunlight-readable TFT display with adjustable backlighting. The 296 also features USB data transfer, fast processing speed and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack.
