The GPSMAP 496 can also output frequency data to a Garmin
aviation radio. Currently the two models supported are the SL30
nav/comm and the SL40 comm. Refer to
for wiring
information.
CaUtion: This interface does not have official installation
airworthiness approval. If any abnormalities with SL 30/40
tuning or operation are encountered, disconnect the GPSMAP
496 from the SL 30/40 tuning interface.
To configure the VHF comm output:
1. Press
MENU twice. The Main Menu appears.
2. Highlight the
Setup tab.
3. Use the
ROCKER to select the Interface sub tab.
4. Highlight the
Serial Data Format field and use the ROCKER
to select
TIS In/NMEA & VHF Out or Aviation In/NMEA &
VHF out. These comm modes send both NMEA data and
VHF frequency information.
The following features are now available on the radio:
Remote frequency lists for departure, enroute, and arrival
airports
Nearest VOR frequencies (SL30 only)
notE: See your SL30/40 User’s Guide regarding information
on accessing remote frequency lists.
You can also use the GPSMAP 496 to directly tune a standby
frequency in the radio by using the Comm tab when reviewing an
airport.
To select a standby comm frequency:
1. Use the map pointer or the
NRST key to select an airport.
2. Highlight the
Comm sub tab.
3. Select a comm frequency, and press
ENTER. The frequency
is now tuned in the standby slot on the radio.
If the comm frequency has a restriction, the restriction page has a
tune button, which performs the same function.
