4.3 TRAFFIC INFORMATION

TRAFFIC SOURCE

The GPSMAP 696 is compatible with two different traffic sources; TIS-A traffic via a Garmin Mode S Transponder (GTX 330 or GTX 23), or ADS-B/TIS-B traffic via a GDL 39. When the GPSMAP 696 is configured with both a Mode S transponder capable of receiving TIS-A traffic and a GDL 39 capable of receiving ADS-B/TIS-B traffic the GPSMAP 696 will automatically switch between traffic sources. The following conditions describe the traffic display logic.

•If the GTX is not receiving TIS-A traffic data, GDL 39 ADS-B traffic will be displayed.

•If the GDL 39 is receiving both air-to-air ADS-B traffic data and ground uplink TIS-B traffic, then the GDL 39 ADS-B traffic will be displayed.

•If the GTX is receiving TIS-A traffic, and the GDL 39 is not receiving ground uplink TIS-B traffic, then GTX TIS-A traffic will be displayed.

If more than one traffic source is configured, the current traffic source is annunciated in the upper left hand corner of the Traffic Page (TRF).
