Garmin GPSMAP 296 - Manual (Page 30)

Selecting an Approach
CAUTION: The approaches provided in the Jeppesen database
are for monitoring purposes only. The GPSMAP 296 is not an
IFR-approved instrument and should not be used as a primary
source of navigation guidance in instrument conditions.
When you select an approach, it replaces the destination airport with
the sequence of waypoints for the selected approach. Keep in mind
that the airport must have a published approach (GPS, RNAV, VOR,
NDB, localizer, or ILS) and only the final course segment (usually
from final approach fix to missed approach point) of the published
approach is available in the GPSMAP 296.
NOTE: When using a route, the selected approach for the
destination airport overrides your current route. The original
route is saved in the Route tab.
You can select an approach several ways:
• Press the Direct To and press MENU on the Go To Page,
as described in the steps to the right.
• From the Active Go To (or Active Route) Page, press MENU.
• From the Airport Details Page, select the Approach tab.
To select an approach for the destination airport:
1. Press the Direct To to show the Go To Page. Select the
destination you want to travel to.
2. Press MENU to open the options menu. Highlight Select
Approach, and press ENTER.
3. Use the ROCKER to select the approach from the window,
and press ENTER.

4. A Vectors? window appears. See the following page for more

approach waypoints.
