The Garmin Aviation Experts at Tropic Aero/Banyan Pilot Shop have put together a few instructional videos on Garmin’s Portable GPSmap units (the Garmin 196 – Garmin 496). These videos are short and to the point and were created to give people hands-on answers to some of the most commonly asked questions.
To view the videos, visit www.TropicAero.com, go to the page for the Garmin unit you’re interested in, and click the “Free Videos” tab to view a list of available videos. Our you can click these links directly:

Does the 696 overlay the aircraft position on the approach charts? Or can you split the screen with the chart and the moving map? If not it makes the EFB feature of the 696 sort of a letdown, because you’d lose the situational awareness of the moving map to view the approach plate. Yuck.
