You may enable/disable
the airspace alerts by the
individual airspace cate-
gories shown.
The altitude buffer pro-
vides an added margin of

Airspace alerts may be enabled/disabled by airspace type. Alerts
for the following airspace categories may controlled from the alarms
submenu:
• Class B, CTA— ICAO control areas
• Class C, TMA— ICAO terminal control areas
• Towers, Control Zones— In U.S., a 4.3 nm radius from air-
ports with control towers which are not associated with Class B
or Class C airspace; control zones in Europe
• Restricted Areas— Restricted areas
• MOAs & Other SUAs— Includes military operations, alert,
training, caution, danger and warning areas
• Mode C Veils— Outer limit of an airspace (usually Class B or C)
where mode C altitude-encoding transponder is required
Alarms for prohibited areas may not be turned off. Keep in mind
that turning a warning off will only prevent you from receiving a
message alert for an airspace. Airspace boundaries will still be
displayed on the map page unless that category is turned off from the
map options page.

To turn an airspace alarm on or off:

1. Highlight the desired airspace category and press
2. Select 'On' or 'Off', as desired, and press
The airspace altitude buffer field, located at the bottom of the page,
expands the vertical range of an airspace, providing an added margin
of safety. For example, if the buffer is set at 500 feet, and you are
more than 500 feet above or below an airspace, you will not be noti-
fied with an alert message. If you are less than 500 feet from the
floor/ceiling limits of the airspace, you will be notified with an alert
message. The default setting for the altitude buffer is 200 feet.

To enter an altitude buffer:

1. Highlight the 'Altitude Buffer' field and press
2. Enter the desired buffer distance and press
NOTE: Some airspace altitude limits may be charted in terms of altitude
above ground level (AGL). If the actual lower limit of an airspace is charted in
terms of AGL, the GPSMAP 195 will alert you at any altitude below the upper
limit. However, if the actual upper limit is also charted as an AGL altitude, the
GPSMAP 195 will provide the alert at all altitudes.
