Following your Flight Plan

Once you have created and activated your flight plan (or route), the
GPSMAP 296 guides you to the destination using a variety of tools.

Track Your Progress on the Map page

On the Map page, your current position 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 magenta line. The airplane should be on top of the
magenta line as you move. When you are on the magenta line, you
are directly on course.
NOTE: In Aviation (and Marine) Mode, the Go To line and
navigation guidance are fixed. The From point is the position
where the Go To was initiated. In Automotive Mode, the Go To
line on the map is constantly updated to your present position.
For complete information about the Map page and the features of the
Map page, see "Map Page," beginning on page 29.

Watch for Terrain and Obstacles Changes

Press PAGE to open the Terrain page, and watch the changes in the
terrain and the obstacles you are flying over with the Terrain page.

are shown in red. For complete information, see page 35.
