Garmin GPS 55AVD - Manual (Page 4)

PREFACE
GARMIN thanks you for selecting our high performance, full featured
Personal Navigator
TM . The GPS 55 AVD represents our continued
commitment to provide you with a portable aviation unit that is versatile,
extremely accurate, and easy to use. We are confident you will enjoy using
your unit for many years to come.
The GPS 55 AVD's rugged construction and quality components offer the
reliability demanded by the harshest operating environments. When not
being used in an aircraft, it may be removed for use in marine and land
vehicles, as well as for hunting and hiking. The unit may be operated portably
using its own battery pack, or it may use a 5-40 volt DC external power source
for fixed mounted applications. You can even use a 115- or 230-volt battery
charger for planning trips at home.
This manual and accompanying quick reference guide provide complete
information on safely operating the GPS 55 AVD to its full potential. Two
exciting practice trips have been planned for you to practice your navigation
skills using the built-in simulator. Afterwards, try a trip of your own to realize
the value of the GPS 55 AVD as your Personal Navigator
TM . If you have any
questions or comments, our Customer Support Department is eager to serve
you. GARMIN is fully committed to your satisfaction as a customer.
