Understanding Vectors
The Vectors option that appears at the last step of
selecting an approach determines how you navigate to
the nal approach waypoint in the approach.
Active Approach Page
If you select Vectors, the GPSMAP 96/96C creates
an extension of the nal course, beyond the nal
approach waypoint in the database (nal approach x
[FAF]). The GPSMAP 96/96C provides no guidance
to the inbound course. The course deviation needle
on the graphic HSI remains off-center until you are
established on this nal approach course. The Map
Page shows an extension of the nal approach course
using a bold magenta line. The HSI automatically
slews (rotate to show the direction) to the inbound
course. On the Active Route (or Active Approach)
Page, a Vector to Final symbol appears adjacent to the
rst approach waypoint.
If No is selected for the Vectors? or the Go to FAF
option is selected from the Approach Go To Page,
the GPSMAP 96/96C creates a straight-line course
directly to the rst waypoint in the approach (from
wherever you are when you initiate the approach).
This works much like any other route with course
guidance from point-to-point and a turn usually
required as you cross each waypoint.
