Warnings, Cautions & Notes

WARNING: When installing the GPSMAP® 695/696, place the unit so it does not obstruct the field of view or interfere with operating controls.

WARNING: The indicators represented on the Panel are based on GPS-derived data and may differ from the instruments in the aircraft.

WARNING: The GPSMAP 695/696 is intended only as an aid for VFR navigation. Do not attempt to use this unit for any purpose requiring precise measurement of direction, distance, location, or topography.

WARNING: Navigation and terrain separation must NOT be predicated upon the use of the terrain function. The GPSMAP 695/696 Terrain Proximity feature is NOT intended to be used as a primary reference for terrain avoidance and does not relieve the pilot from the responsibility of being aware of surroundings during flight. The Terrain Proximity feature is only to be used as an aid for terrain avoidance and is not certified for use in applications requiring a certified terrain awareness system. Terrain data is obtained from third party sources. Garmin is not able to independently verify the accuracy of the terrain data.

WARNING: The displayed minimum safe altitudes (MSAs) are only advisory in nature and should not be relied upon as the sole source of obstacle and terrain avoidance information. Always refer to current aeronautical charts for appropriate minimum clearance altitudes.

WARNING: The altitude calculated by GPSMAP 695/696 GPS receiver is geometric height above Mean Sea Level and could vary significantly from the altitude displayed by pressure altimeters. GPS altitude should never be used for vertical navigation.

WARNING: Do not use outdated database information. Databases used in the GPSMAP 695/696 must be updated regularly in order to ensure that the information remains current. Pilots using any outdated database do so entirely at their own risk.

WARNING: Do not use basemap (land and water data) information for primary navigation. Basemap data is intended only to supplement other approved navigation data sources and should be considered as an aid to enhance situational awareness.
