Caution
Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous
situations may result in injury or property damage.
The GPSMAP 96/96C is designed to provide you with
route suggestions. It does not reflect road closures or road
conditions, trafc congestion, weather conditions, or other
factors that may affect safety or timing while driving.
Use the GPSMAP 96/96C only as a navigational aid. Do
not attempt to use the GPSMAP 96/96C for any purpose
requiring precise measurement of direction, distance,
location, or topography. This product should not be used to
determine ground proximity for aircraft navigation.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the
United States government, which is solely responsible for
its accuracy and maintenance. The government’s system
is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and
performance of all GPS equipment, including the GPSMAP
96/96C. Although the GPSMAP 96/96C is a precision
navigation device, any navigation device can be misused or
misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.
Map Data Information: One of the goals of Garmin is to provide customers with the most complete and accurate cartography
that is available to us at a reasonable cost. We use a combination of governmental and private data sources, which we identify in
product literature and copyright messages displayed to the consumer. Virtually all data sources contain inaccurate or incomplete
data to some extent. In some countries, complete and accurate map information is either not available or is prohibitively
expensive.
NOTICE TO DRIVERS IN CALIFORNIA AND MINNESOTA: State law prohibits drivers in California and Minnesota from
using suction mounts on their windshields while operating motor vehicles. Other Garmin dashboard or friction mounting options
should be used. Garmin does not take any responsibility for any nes, penalties, or damages that may be incurred as a result of
disregarding this notice. (See California Vehicle Code Section 26708(a); Minnesota Statutes 2005, Section 169.71.)
