CAUTION
The GPS system is operated by the United States government, which is solely
responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The system is subject to changes
which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. Although
the GARMIN GPSMAP 175 is a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID),
any NAVAID can be misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.
Use the GPSMAP 175 at your own risk. To reduce the risk of unsafe operation,
carefully review and understand all aspects of this Owner’s Manual—and
thoroughly practice operation using the simulator mode prior to actual use. When
in actual use, carefully compare indications from the GPSMAP 175 to all available
navigation sources, including the information from other NAVAIDs, visual
sightings, charts, etc. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies before
continuing navigation.
