Following Your Flight Plan - Garmin GPSMAP 196 Pilot's Manual

Following your Flight Plan

When you have created and started your flight plan (or route), the
GPSMAP 196 guides you to the destination using a variety of tools.
NOTE: After you perform an update to your Jeppesen Database,
verify that all of your flight plans (routes) in your unit are still
current. If there is an obsolete Jeppesen aviation point in a saved
route, the route is locked and unusable. You need to create a new
route with current Jeppesen Database points.
Track Your Progress on the Map Page
On the Map Page, your current location is shown as an airplane (when
in Aviation Mode). You can see how the airplane moves across the map;
this is a graphic view of your flight. Your route is marked with a dark
line. The airplane should be on top of the dark line as you move. When
you are on the dark line, you are directly on course.
NOTE: In Aviation (and Water) Mode, the Goto line and
navigation guidance are fixed. The From point is the location
where the Goto was initiated. In Land Mode, the Goto line on the
map is constantly updated to your present location.
