Aviation Mode Page Sequence
The GPSMAP 296 offers three usage modes, Aviation Mode (default), Automotive Mode, and Marine Mode. The main pages are linked
together in a series that you can cycle through by pressing PAGE to move forward and QUIT to reverse. Each page also has an options menu
that allows you to customize each page (in all three modes) to your preferences and/or select features that specifically relate to that page. To
view the options menu for any page, press MENU.
Aviation Mode features five main pages: Map Page, Terrain Page, Panel Page, Active Route Page, and Position Data Page. An example of
each page in Aviation Mode appears below. Each of these pages has a specific use and each page is discussed later in this manual. Aviation
Mode is the default mode for the GPSMAP 296. This manual first addresses each page, such as the Map Page, as shown in Aviation Mode.
The manual then describes the page as shown in Automotive and Marine Mode.
