When navigating, carefully compare information displayed on the unit to all available navigation sources, including information from street signs, visual sightings, and maps. For safety, always resolve any discrepancies or questions before continuing navigation and defer to posted road signs. Always operate the vehicle in a safe manner. Do not become distracted by the unit while driving, and always be fully aware of all driving conditions. Minimize the amount of time spent viewing the units screen while driving and use voice prompts when possible. Do not input destinations, change settings, or access any functions requiring prolonged use of the units controls while driving. Pull over in a safe and legal manner before attempting such operations. Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous situations could result in an accident or collision resulting in death or serious injury.

The unit begins charging as soon as external power is applied. Placing the unit in Charge Mode charges the unit more quickly than when the unit is turned on and reduces draw on the aircraft/vehicle/ boat battery.
NOTE: While in Charge Mode, the unit draws a small amount of current from the aircraft/vehicle/boat battery. To avoid discharging the vehicles battery, disconnect the external power cable from the GPSMAP 495 when not in use for several days.
Information about Charge Mode
Applying external power to the GPSMAP 495 automatically turns on the unit for full operation. If the battery is present and needs to be charged, the external power source charges the battery while the unit is in use.
After using the unit a lot, you may notice that the lithium-ion battery in the unit is not holding a charge any more. This is common for lithium-ion batteries. Contact Garmin or your Garmin dealer to order a battery pack replacement if you are experiencing charging issues with your battery.
Getting Started > Turning On the GPSMAP 495
Turning On the GPSMAP 495
The rst time you turn on your new GPSMAP 495, the receiver must collect satellite data and establish its present location. To ensure proper initialization, the GPSMAP 495 is shipped from the factory in AutoLocate mode, which allows the receiver to nd itself anywhere in the world. Before you turn on the unit to start initialization, be sure that the antenna is rotated up as shown on page 1, and it has a clear and unobstructed view of the sky to receive satellite signals.
To turn the GPSMAP 495 on and off: 1. Press and hold the POWER key. When the unit turns on, a tone sounds and the Warning Page appears.
3. To turn off the GPSMAP 495, press and hold the POWER key again.
Adjusting the Backlight and Volume
The POWER key controls the 10 level backlight and volume of the optional headphone jack or external speaker with vehicle power cable.
To adjust the backlight level or volume: 1. Press and quickly release the POWER key. 2. Press the ROCKER up to increase the brightness or down to decrease. Press right to raise the volume or left to lower. 3. Press ENTER or QUIT to close the Backlight/Volume adjustment window. Press MENU to view the options menu.

Getting Started > Getting Satellite Signals
Getting Satellite Signals
After you turn on the GPSMAP 495, the unit automatically begins searching for satellites. The GPS Page appears while the unit is gathering satellite signals and acquiring a x. This process should take only a few minutes. While the GPSMAP 495 is getting satellite signals, the GPS Page shows the status as Acquiring Satellites. It can take a few minutes to acquire satellites and show your current location on the map. Be patient as the unit acquires satellite data. To get signals more quickly, be sure the antenna is raised to the up position shown in the image on page 1.

To select an approach for the destination airport: 1. Press Direct To to show the Go To Page. Select the destination. 2. Press MENU to open the options menu. Highlight Select Approach, and press ENTER. 3. Use the ROCKER to select the approach from the window, and press ENTER. A Vectors? window appears. See the following page for more information on vectors.

Understanding Vectors

The Vectors? option, which appears after you select an approach, determines how you navigate to the nal approach waypoint. If you select Yes, the GPSMAP 495 creates an extension of the nal course beyond the nal approach waypoint in the database (nal approach x [FAF]). On the Active Route Page, a Vector to Final symbol appears beside the rst approach waypoint.
If No is selected for the Vectors? option, the GPSMAP 495 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. A turn is usually required as you cross each waypoint.
CAUTION: Steep Turns are not allowed on an IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) approach. Follow the approach plate or air trafc control instructions to complete the approach without a steep turn.
If air trafc control clears your approach to an airport, loading the approach cancels your Direct To and initiates a route to the FAF. Load the approach only when cleared by air trafc control.
To cancel the vectors and/or approach: 1. Press Direct To , and press MENU on the Go To Page. OR From the Active Go To (or Active Route) Page, press MENU. 2. Highlight Cancel Approach, and press ENTER to cancel the entire approach. If you enabled Vectors, highlight Cancel Vectors, and press ENTER to navigate directly to the FAF.
Active Approach Page Using vectors in the approach
The GPSMAP 495 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 HSI automatically slews (rotates to show the direction) to the inbound course. The Map Page shows an extension of the nal approach course using a bold magenta line.
Basic Operation in Aviation Mode > Finding Points on Land

A navigation arc (Horizontal Situation Indicator, or HSI) appears by default on the Map Page. The arc works like the compass on the Panel Page, indicating the course and your deviation left or right of this course. If the route line and magenta arrow are heading straight up, you are heading directly to your destination.
NOTE: The navigation arc only shows up in Aviation Mode when the Map Page is set to Track Up. See page 34.

Aviation Mode Pages

In Aviation Mode, by default, four user-selectable data elds appear in the corners of the screen that can be congured to show any one of the several data options. You can also change the layout of the map and data elds. See page 34 for information.

Map Orientation

There are three map orientation options: North Up orients the map like a paper map, Track Up orients the map in the direction of travel, and Course Up orients the map in the direction of the destination. When using Track Up or Course Up, the North arrow indicates the orientation. To change the map orientation, press PAGE to open the Map Page. Press MENU. Select Set up Map, and press ENTER. Refer to page 34 for information.
Map coverage conforms to the following conditions: Cartography is shown when the selected zoom range is covered by either the internal map data or other MapSource data loaded onto a data card. When the selected zoom range is covered by both the internal map data and data card map information, the cartography with the best resolution is shown. When the selected zoom range exceeds the resolution of the data in use, overzoom appears below the map range.

Selecting Map Ranges

The Map Page has 28 available range scales from 20 ft to 800 nm (20 ft to 800 mi or 5 m to 1200 km). The map range is controlled by the IN and OUT keys, with the current range shown at the bottom right of the data window.
NOTE: The range value represents the distance between the ends of the range bar ( ). To select a map zoom range (zoom in and out): Press the OUT key to zoom out. Press the IN key to zoom in.
No additional data available.
When optional City Navigator map data is used, detail map appears below the map range.
Using the optional City Navigator maps.
The system uses optional MapSource City Navigator for street level mapping data. Detailed marine chart coverage is available through the use of the BlueChart, or MapSource software.

Terrain Information

The areas of the terrain shaded red are predicted to be within 100 feet below or above the aircraft. The yellow terrain areas are between the user-dened Caution Elevation and 100 feet below the aircraft. By default, the Caution Elevation is 1,000 feet; therefore, the areas in yellow are between 1,000 feet and 100 feet below the aircraft. The black areas are further away than the Caution Elevation. A projected point of impact is marked with an X.
Each obstacle is labeled with the altitude of the top of the obstacle, or Mean Sea Level (MSL). Each obstacle also lists, in parentheses, the actual height of the obstacle, or Above Ground Level (AGL).
Terrain and Obstacle Color Code
Redterrain or obstacle is within 100 feet of the aircraft. Yellowterrain or obstacle is between the user-dened Caution Elevation and 100 feet below the aircraft.
The Terrain Page, available only in Aviation Mode, provides an overhead view of the terrain and obstacles beneath you. Alert windows appear on all pages to inform you of your proximity to the terrain and obstacles, as well as an unsafe descent rate. These alerts depend on user-dened parameters in the Terrain setup.

Waypoints are locations or landmarks you record and store in your GPSMAP 495. Save your current location as a waypoint by pressing and holding ENTER/MARK. You can also nd waypoints using the map or Find Menu and them store them in the unit. The GPSMAP 495 stores up to 3,000 alphanumeric waypoints with a user-dened icon, category, comment, altitude, depth, and temperature available for each waypoint. Waypoints can be created using three basic methods: ENTER/MARK allows you to quickly mark your present location. Graphicallyallows you to dene a new waypoint location from the map show using the ROCKER. Text Entryallows you to enter a new waypoints location coordinates manually.
The ENTER/MARK key lets you quickly capture your present location to create a new waypoint. You must have a valid location (2D or 3D) x to mark your present location. You can determine the satellite x by looking at the GPS tab on the Main Menu.

What is Differential GPS (DGPS)?
The United States and Canadian governments (among others) have set up Differential GPS (DGPS) stations to transmit correction signals. They are operational in coastal areas and on many navigable river systems. The DGPS system is available for use without a fee, but you do need additional equipment to receive DGPS signals: A beacon receiver compatible with the RTCM format sentences supported by your Garmin GPS is needed to use DGPS. Refer to the United States Coast Guards Web site (www.navcen.uscg.gov) for locations and status of the differential stations.

Common GPS Terms

Initializethe rst time a GPS receiver orients itself to its current location and collects data. After the receiver is initialized, it remembers its location and acquires a location more quickly. Locationan exact, unique location based on geographic coordinates (Latitude and Longitude). RouteA group of waypoints entered into the GPS receiver in the sequence you want to navigate them. Waypointa location you store in your GPS.

Differential Field

Differential receiver status is indicated in the bottom-left eld of the GPS Page and shows one of the following conditions: Noneno optional beacon receiver is attached or enabled on the Interface sub tab on the Main Menu or WAAS is turned off. Searching for WAASWAAS is enabled and the receiver is searching for WAAS signal. Using WAASWAAS capability is enabled and the unit is receiving WAAS corrections.
Check Beacon Wiringthe DGPS setting is enabled in the Interface sub tab on the Main Menu but no DGPS device is detected. No Beacon SignalDGPS receiver is attached, but not transmitting RTCM data to GPS. Tuning Beaconthe receiver is tuning manually to a DGPS frequency. Using Differentialthe unit is receiving DGPS corrections. Scanning for Beaconthe DGPS receiver is scanning for an available frequency.
According to the FAAs Web site, testing in September 2002, WAAS conrmed an accuracy performance of 12 meters horizontal and 23 meters vertical throughout the majority of the continental United States and portions of Alaska. WAAS is just one service provider that adheres to the Minimum Operational Performance Standard (MOPS) for global Satellite Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS). Eventually, there will be several services of worldwide geostationary communication satellites and ground reference stations. All SBAS systems use the same receiver frequency; therefore any operational SBAS system should be capable of providing your GPS unit with increased accuracy at any location in the world. Currently, enabling WAAS on your Garmin GPSMAP 495 in regions that are not supported by ground stations may not improve accuracy, even when receiving signals from an SBAS satellite. In fact, it can degrade the accuracy to less than that provided by GPS satellites alone. For this reason, when you enable WAAS on your Garmin GPS receiver, the receiver automatically uses the method that achieves the best accuracy. To enable WAAS, refer to page 6.
