The approaches provided in the Jeppesen database are for monitoring purposes only. The
GPSMAP 196 is not an IFR-approved instrument and should not be used as a primary
source of navigation guidance in instrument conditions.
The ‘ Vectors?’ option that appears at the last step of selecing an approach determines how you will
navigate to the fi rst waypoint in the approach. If you select ‘Yes’, the GPSMAP 196 creates an extension
of the fi nal course, beyond the fi rst approach waypoint in the database (usually the fi nal approach fi x
[FAF]). The GPSMAP 196 will guide you to intercept the fi nal course prior to the FAF. The course devia-
tion needle on the graphic HSI will remain off-center until you are established on this fi nal approach
course and the Map Page will display an extension of the fi nal approach course using a bold dashed
line. On the Active Route Page, a ‘ Vector to Final’ symbol will appear adjacent to the fi rst approach
waypoint.
If ‘No’ is selected for the ‘Vectors?’ option, the GPSMAP 196 creates a straight-line course directly to
the fi 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. Keep this in mind! If you select an approach and choose ‘No’ (to the ‘Vectors?’
option) from a location on the “back side” of the approach, a steep turn would be required as you reach
the fi rst waypoint in the approach.
Direct To Options
As with each of the main pages, the Goto Page has an options menu, allowing you to select special
features which specifi cally relate to that page.
To display the Goto Page Options, press MENU (with the Goto Page displayed).
To select a menu option, use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the desired option and
press ENTER.

Select ‘Yes’ here to use the vectors-to-fi nal feature. This feature
creates an extension of the fi nal course segment of the approach.
Once the approach and ‘Vectors’ option are selected, the Active
Route Page appears. Note the vectors-to-fi nal icon appearing
next to the fi rst approach waypoint.
