Descriptions

Fly smarter and safer with the GPSMAP 496 on board. This "know-it-all" mini-MFD puts more power and information at your fingertips than any other portable handheld in the history of aviation. The 496 combines satellite weather with a detailed color map and terrain alerting and takes it up a notch with even more high-end software and features.

View Your Position on Taxiways
Garmin SafeTaxi® data provides detailed taxiway diagrams and position information for over 850 U.S. airports.

Access AOPA Airport Directory
Easily look up taxi services, plan an overnight, choose fuel stops and more with the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) Airport Directory.

Receive Altitude-Sensitive Alerts
When in the air, Garmin's new Smart AirspaceTM feature makes it easier than ever to identify what airspace lies ahead. Smart Airspace automatically highlights airspace close to your current altitude and de-emphasizes airspace away from the current altitude, which gives you increased situational awareness.

Add Weather, Radio and Traffic
Make informed decisions based on weather and traffic with optional sensors and services. With a subscription to XM WX Satellite WeatherTM and the included GXM 30A smart antenna, you'll have access to constantly-updated, high-resolution weather data for the U.S, right in the cockpit. Add a Garmin Mode S transponder, and the 496 will also display TIS traffic alerts that identify surrounding air traffic.

Navigate by Air, Land or Sea
Garmins GPSMAP 496 comes ready to go right out of the box with preloaded City Navigator® NT street maps, including a hefty points of interest (POIs) database. Simply enter a destination, and youre automatically routed with voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions. Add optional BlueChart® g2 data cards, and turn the 496 into a color chartplotter.
