Pilots gain terrain awareness in a number of ways:
Terrain and obstacle information
By using visual cues and tone alerts, pilots can be aware of potentially dangerous
terrain or obstacle conflicts along the current flight path. The unit also
offers a configurable look-ahead warning function which gives the pilot additional
time to make critical decisions.
Configurable buffer zones
The pilot can set the minimum limits to receive terrain cautions. The unit
then presents potential hazards in yellow (to indicate ground proximity of
500-1000 feet) and red (to indicate ground proximity of 100 feet or less).
Pop-up alerts
Terrain proximity cautions and alerts pop up as
digital thumbnail images in the lower left-hand corner of any
page whenever a
potential hazard conflict looms ahead.

with voice guided mapping for vehicles, as well as aviation
and marine functions.
The
GPSMAP 296 builds on the tradition of Garmin aviation handhelds
like the GPSMAP 196 and GPSMAP 295. New features like terrain
cautions and alerts, sectional chart-like topographic data,
and a transparent navigation arc view for course, speed,
and distance information
lead the list of advances. The GPSMAP 296 also features USB
data transfer, faster processing speed, and a rechargeable
lithium-ion battery pack. Press a button, and you have your
choice of the unit's automotive or marine modes. 
Garmin delivers terrain awareness in an intuitive Terrain mode
on the GPSMAP 296. The unit combines GPS position, GPS altitude
and topographical mapping to give pilots a vivid depiction of
potential terrain hazards. See box at left:
Obstacles database
(This feature is only available with the Americas version.)
The GPSMAP 296 is designed to move seamlessly between an aircraft,
vehicle, or boat:
Automotive Mode
Provides automatic route generation, turn-by-turn guidance, and
voice prompts, plus a built-in worldwide database of borders
and major cities. The optional Auto Kit can include two mounts,
a cigarette-lighter adapter with speaker output, a 128-MB data
card, and a MapSource® City
Navigator Australia CD-ROM
for detailed mapping and address lookup capabilities.
Marine Mode
Features a worldwide marine database and U.S. tide data. When
coupled with the optional Marine Kit (64-MB data card and MapSource
BlueChart® Pacific CD-ROM), the unit displays such information
as depth contours, inter-tidal zones, spot soundings, wrecks,
navaids,
port plans, restricted areas, cable areas, anchorages, and much
more.
Your choice.
