The size of the Estimated Position Error (EPE) Circle for the Garmin GPSMAP 696 is determined using Dilution of Precision (DOP) and other factors to calculate horizontal position error. DOP measures the quality of satellite geometry, including the number of satellites received and their relative positions.

Page 6 Terrain data is obtained from third party sources. Garmin is not able to independently verify the accuracy of the terrain data.
Page 7 System and is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The GPS system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. Portions of the Garmin GPSMAP 695/696 utilize GPS as a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID). Therefore, as with all NAVAIDs, information presented by the GPSMAP 695/696 can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.
Page 8 FAA/FCC regulations. NOTE: The Garmin GPSMAP 695/696 has a very high degree of functional integrity. However, the pilot must recognize that providing monitoring and/or self-test capability for all conceivable system failures is not practical. Although unlikely, it may be possible for erroneous operation to occur without a fault indication shown by the GPSMAP 695/696.
Page 9 NOTE: The data contained in the terrain and obstacle databases comes from government agencies. Garmin accurately processes and cross-validates the data, but does not guarantee the accuracy and completeness of the data. NOTE: This product, its packaging, and its components contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm.
