Selecting An Approach - Garmin GPSMAP 296 Pilot's Manual

Selecting an Approach

NOTE: The approaches provided in the Jeppesen database are
for monitoring purposes only. The GPSMAP 296 is not an IFR-
approved instrument and should not be used as a primary source
of navigation guidance in instrument conditions.
When you select an approach, it replaces the destination airport with
the sequence of waypoints for the selected approach. Keep in mind
that the airport must have a published approach (GPS, RNAV, VOR,
NDB, localizer, or ILS) and only the final course segment (usually
from final approach fix to missed approach point) of the published
approach is available in the GPSMAP 296.
NOTE: When using a route, the selected approach overrides
your current route. The original route is saved in the Routes tab.
You can select an approach several ways:
• Press the Direct To
page, as described in the steps to the right.
• From the Active Goto (or Active Route) page, press MENU.
• From the Airport Details page, select the Approach tab.
