Garmin GPSMAP 295 Quick Start Manual page 9

If some of the screen examples on the following pages do not generally match what you see on your
GPSMAP 295, your unit may be in "Land Mode". Land Mode substitutes some aviation features with
equivalents more suitable for automotive use. Some alert messages, which would be appropriate in the
cockpit, are disabled to prevent nuisance messages not needed while driving.
Additionally, there are many settings on the GPSMAP 295 you can make on your own. For
example, speed can be displayed in knots, miles per hour or kilometers per hour. The GPSMAP 295
provides the flexibility to have separate settings for Aviation Mode and Land Mode (and saves them so
you do not have to re-enter them the next time you switch between modes).
The chart below describes the differences between Aviation and Land Mode.
AVIATION MODE:
Uses Airplane Symbol on Map to indicate current position.
Airplane Symbol appears at GPS-determined position.
HSI Page is displayed for Navigation Guidance.
GOTO navigation is along Selected Course (determined when GOTO is initiated).
Independent (from Land Mode) user-defined settings for Distance, Speed, North reference (true or magnetic),
Arrival Alarm, Land Data (appearing on Map), Aviation Data (appearing on Map).
LAND MODE:
Uses Pointer Symbol on Map to incidate current position.
Pointer Symbol is aligned to the Nearest Road (where practical).
RMI Page is displayed for Navigation Guidance.
GOTO navigation is from Present Position (updates guidance information as you drive).
All Vertical Navigation (VNAV) messages, All Airspace Alert messages and "Off Course Alarm" are disabled.
Independent (from Aviation Mode) user-defined settings for Distance, Speed, North reference (true or
magnetic), Arrival Alarm, Land Data (appearing on Map), Aviation Data (appearing on Map).

Aviation vs. Land Mode
Press MENU, with the Satellite Status Page displayed, to
show the page options. 'Enter Land Mode' or 'Enter Aviation
Mode' will appear—allowing you to select the other mode.
The RMI Page replaces the HSI Page when Land Mode is
selected. The RMI Page depicts direction of travel (ground
track) on a rotating compass card, and bearing to
destination using a bearing pointer.
