Selecting an Approach
CAUTION: The approaches provided in the Jeppesen database
are for monitoring purposes only. The GPSMAP 496 is not an
IFR-approved instrument and should not be used as a primary
source of navigation guidance in instrument conditions.
When you select an approach, it replaces the destination airport with
the sequence of waypoints for the selected approach. Keep in mind
that the airport must have a published approach (GPS, RNAV, VOR,
NDB, localizer, or ILS) and only the nal course segment (usually
from nal approach x to missed approach point) of the published
approach is available in the GPSMAP 496.
NOTE: When using a route, the selected approach for the
destination airport overrides your current route. The original
route is saved in the Route tab.
You can select an approach several ways:
Press Direct To and press MENU on the Go To Page, as
described in the steps to the right.
From the Active Go To (or Active Route) Page, press MENU.
From the Airport Details Page, select the Approach tab.
