Navigation Database

The GPSMAP 695/696 includes an internal navigation database that provides location and facility information for thousands of airports, VORs, NDBs, and more. Updates to the navigation database are available every 28 days online (www.fly. garmin.com). There are two navigation database products available: the Jeppesen Navigation Database, which is sourced by Jeppesen, and the US VFR Navigation Database sourced by AeroNav Products, a division of the FAA. The update program is designed to operate on Windows®-compatible PCs and requires the included USB cable to connect your GPSMAP 695/696 to the PC’s USB port. The following information is provided from the internal navigation database:

NOTE: Although the Jeppesen Navigation Database and the US VFR Navigation Database contain much of the same information, pilots may notice differences in behavior, nearest list functionality, direct-to functionality, and map page display due to data content variations. The US VFR Navigation Database, by

AeroNav Products, does not contain any approach data.
