Map Page

The GPSMAP 196 features a real-time moving map that can do
much more than just plot your course. The Map Page shows map
information (digital cartography) that includes airspace boundaries,
airports, navaids, lakes, rivers, coastlines, cities, and highways.
Dedicated zoom keys (IN and OUT) are provided for range
adjustments.
Two basic map operating modes, location mode and pan mode,
determine what cartography is shown on the Map Page. Location
mode pans the map to keep your present location in the screen area.
The location marker (icon) that shows your travel on the Map Page
is an aircraft symbol in Aviation Mode and a triangle symbol
in Water and Land Modes. The GPSMAP 196 always turns on in
location mode, with the last known location centered on the map.
When you press the ROCKER, the GPSMAP 196 enters pan mode,
which moves the map to keep the white arrow
within the screen area.

In Aviation Mode, by default, four user-selectable data fields with
a RMI appear on the right side of the screen. The data fields can
be configured to show any one of the several data options. You can
also change the layout of the map and data fields, see
