WPT The GPSMAP 295 includes an internal Jeppesen ® database, additional memory for up to 500 user-
created waypoints and accepts optional memory cards to display MapSource data. The Jeppesen
database provides position and facility information for thousands of airports, VORs, NDBs and
intersections. Each facility in the database is stored as a ‘waypoint’, with its own latitude/longitude
location, identifier (up to six letters and/or numbers) and other pertinent information. Updates to the
Jeppesen database are available every 28 days online (www.garmin.com). The update program is
designed to operate on Windows
® -compatible PCs and requires the included PC Interface Cable to
connect your GPSMAP 295 to the PC’s serial communications port.
The following information is provided from the internal Jeppesen database:
• Airports— identifier, facility name, city/state/country, position (latitude/longitude), field
elevation, available fuel types, runway designations/layout, runway surface(s), runway length(s),
runway width(s), runway lighting, communication frequencies and published approaches.
• VORs— identifier, facility name, city/state/country, position (latitude/longitude), frequency and
co-located weather, DME or TACAN availability.
• NDBs— identifier, facility name, city/state/country, position (latitude/longitude), frequency and
co-located weather broadcast availability.
• Intersections— identifier, nearest VOR, radial and distance from nearest VOR, position
(latitude/longitude) and region/country.
Any user-created waypoints will include the following information:
• User Waypoints— name (up to ten characters in length), symbol, position (latitude/longitude),
elevation.
Optional memory cards and MapSource CD-ROMs enhance the versatility of your GPSMAP 295—
allowing you to display additional street detail, topographic maps, highway exit information and points
of interest. With optional MapSource MetroGuide data, you can view listings of nearby restaurants,
lodging, shopping centers, attractions and entertainment, and even retrieve addresses and phone
numbers for any listed location. The same PC Interface Cable, mentioned above for database updates, is
required to transfer MapSource CD-ROM data to the optional memory card.

Jeppesen database, any user-created waypoints in memory
and any MapSource cartridge data. MapSource data provides
address lookup capability and thousands of listings for
restaurants, lodging, shopping, entertainment and more.
Intersection information includes name, radial/distance from
nearest VOR, position and region.The nearest VOR
displayed on this page is simply the nearest facility and may
not be the facility used to define the intersection.
