With color GPS terrain mapping, Jeppesen® information, and obstacle alerting, Garmin's iQue® 3600a is the real pilots' Palm®. Ready to navigate right out of the box, the iQue 3600a combines the convenience of a Palm with the reliability of a Garmin GPS aviation portable. The moving map includes Jeppesen, terrain and U.S. obstacles databases. The "Terrain" mode offers TAWS-like warnings and "pop-up" alerts when proximity conflicts loom ahead. There is a detailed Sectional chart-style overview of surface features, navaids, SUAs, towers, and more along your flight route on a crisp, colorful display. With a complete suite of personal information management (PIM) applications, voice recorder, MP3 player and Secure Digital slot for memory expansion, the iQue 3600a is a full-featured organizer. On the ground, optional MapSource® CD downloads (see product compatibility table) and user-selectable formats enable the iQue 3600a to move seamlessly from plane to automobile. Not only does this “super PDA” keep track of addresses, contacts and appointments — but it can also locate and route you to them automatically with turn-by-turn voice directions and street-level mapping.

The WAAS-enabled Garmin GPSMAP 396 with XM WX Satellite Weather™ features Next Generation Radar (NEXRAD), Aviation Routine Weather Reports (METARs), Terminal Aerodrome Forecasts (TAFs), Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs), Lightning and Winds Aloft, and several other important weather products to help pilots make informed navigational decisions. This new aviation handheld continues to reduce pilot workload by displaying Traffic Information Service (TIS) data when interfaced to the GTX 330, and can channel frequencies with the touch of a button when interfaced to the SL30 nav/comm radio. The GPSMAP 396 is also capable of receiving XM Satellite Radio’s 130-plus channels of music, sports, news, talk, and entertainment programming through a subscription. Once on the ground, the unit continues to provide pilots with invaluable information in a car or boat via automotive or marine navigation modes.

Garmin delivers terrain awareness with pop-up warnings on the GPSMAP 396. The unit combines GPS position, GPS altitude and topographical mapping to give pilots a vivid depiction of potential terrain hazards.

Situational awareness gets a boost from built-in land detail that includes political boundaries, cities, interstates, roads, rivers, and lakes. Steering guidance is clearly presented through a graphic HSI with VNAV, with extended runway centerlines to help orient you to the runway. An automatic logbook also calculates your flight time and automatically records departure and arrival locations.

The GPSMAP 196 compromises nothing in its versatility, going from cockpit to land to water. In fact, it offers some of the same features found in expensive in-dash car navigation systems, including auto routing.

You can split the screen to keep an eye on an HSI graphic while tracking your progress on the moving map. You can also store up to 30 locations in a personal favorites list. Mount the 295 on the yoke for convenient one-thumb operation, or attach it to the glareshield in a heads-up configuration.

Since the GPSMAP 295 is CD-ROM compatible, you also enjoy virtually unlimited mapping utility. Load city-specific data into your GPSMAP 295 from a MapSource® CD accessory, transfer the unit to your car, and you'll navigate to a restaurant on the ground as easily as you follow a flight plan in the air.

The Garmin NavTalk® Pilot GPS cell phone. allows you to make and receive calls from the cockpit, from your car, from your boat, from home, from just about anywhere. A special mounting kit and external antenna allow the NavTalk Pilot to communicate through your audio panel on an approved system while airborne. It's an unconventional concept—using the same phone and phone number for ground-based and airborne communication.

An alliance with AirCell®, an airborne cellular provider, makes this breakthrough technology possible. The NavTalk GPS receiver technology and software configuration are the same found on the GPS III® Pilot, complete with an extensive internal basemap including cities plus millions of miles of roads and highways. For added versatility, the NavTalk Pilot is also waterproof—in fact, submersible—so it's at home on the water, on the land, or in the air.
