When the Garmin GPSMAP 496 is connected to a VHF with DSC
support, the GPS unit shows a Call List, Log, and a Directory. Basic
wiring is required for the Garmin unit and VHF radio to send and
receive NMEA data from each other.
Jeppesen Database Information
notE: After you perform an update to your Jeppesen database,
verify that all of your flight plans (routes) in your unit are
current. If there is an obsolete Jeppesen aviation point in a saved
route, the route is locked and unusable. You need to create a new
route with current Jeppesen database points.
The GPSMAP 496 includes an internal Jeppesen® database that
provides location and facility information for thousands of airports,
VORs, NDBs, and more. Updates to the Jeppesen database are
available every 28 days online (
The update
program is designed to operate on Windows
®
-compatible PCs and
requires the included PC Interface Cable to connect your GPSMAP
496 to the PC’s serial communications port. The following
information is provided from the internal Jeppesen database:
airport—* identifier, facility name, city/state/country, latitude/
longitude, field elevation, available fuel types, runway designations
and layout, runway surface, runway length, runway width, runway
lighting, communication frequencies, and published approaches.
Weather—frequencies associated with an airport (ASOS, ATIS, and
AWOS).
Vors—* identifier, facility name, city/state/country, location
(latitude/longitude), frequency, service volume (high, low, terminal),
and type (such as VOR-DME, TACAN, and VORTAC).
nDBs—* identifier, facility name, city/state/country, location
(latitude/longitude), and frequency.
intersections—identifier, nearest VOR, radial and distance from
nearest VOR, location (latitude/longitude), and region/country.
artCC—Air Route Traffic Control Centers.
airspace—boundaries (TMA, Control Zones, SUAs, and MOAs),
controlling agency, and vertical boundaries.
FSS—Flight Service Stations.
* Symbology used for NDBs, VORs, and airports is consistent with
those used on a sectional chart.
An optional FlightBook software package is available to assist with
your flight record keeping. Visit the Garmin Web site at
