Garmin GPS 296 Colour Screen

Welcome to my listing for a Garmin 296 Colour GPS. I have cut and paste from the relevant information from Garmins site. The unit has been used but in my opinion is in excellent condition with no scratches or dents to the screen or plastic. Please feel free ask any questions. The last update was about 9 months ago and the new purchaser can get the download for about ?40.00 from Garmins site.
I'm also selling a noise reduction headset, electronic flight computer,and various other flying items (Flight bag, couple of spare headsets, C172 fuel dip stick etc ), If your interested ask me questions

Enhance Situational Awareness

GPSMAP 296 comes with a detailed built-in Jeppesen database. Using this information, the 296 provides detailed views of your flight route, displayed over realistic topography. For added safety, you can put the unit in Terrain mode for TAWS-like warnings and alerts when proximity conflicts loom ahead.

View Images in Sharp Detail

Viewing the display in any light is easy, thanks to the unit's 256-colour, high-resolution (320 x 480-pixel) sunlight-readable TFT display with adjustable backlighting. The 296 also features USB data transfer, fast processing speed and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack.

Automate Your Logbook

A built-in logbook tracks your flying hours and automatically records departure and arrival locations. When used with Garmin's free logbook software, FlightBook, this feature simplifies recordkeeping. Flightbook software allows you to create, manage, analyze, save and print flight data from the GPSMAP 296's logbook.

For a great day on the water, customize the waterproof 296 with optional marine cartography. Easily add detailed maps with plug and play Garmin data cards.
