PREFACE
Congratulations on choosing one of the most advanced aircraft navigation systems
available today! The GARMIN GPSMAP 195 combines the proven performance of
GARMIN’s twelve parallel channel GPS receiver with detailed cartography for an unsur-
passed moving map display wherever you fly. To get the most from your new GPSMAP
195, take the time to read through this owner’s manual and learn the operating proce-
dures for your unit. This manual is divided into two main sections for your convenience.
Section One: Takeoff Tour introduces the basic features of the GPSMAP 195. This
section is a “getting started” guide to acquaint you with the unit’s major features. This
will provide you with the basic working knowledge necessary to use the unit to its full
potential. In this section you will learn how to power the unit on and obtain a position
fix. Then you will place the GPSMAP 195 in “Simulator Mode” for a sample trip, which
will introduce many of the unit’s capabilities.
Section Two: Reference provides a detailed reference to all the features and operations
of the GPSMAP 195. This allows you to concentrate on a specific topic quickly, without
reading through entire sections of text. You may also wish to refer to this section for
information about the more advanced features not covered in Section One.
