U SING XM WX W EA THER This section describes how to use XM WX W eather with your GPSMAP 396. If you do not have a subscription to XM WX W eather , the features described in this section work only when the GPSMAP 396 is in Simulator Mode (see page 1 1 ).
Setting XM WX W eather Options Use the options menu on the Map Page to adjust the way weather items appear on the Map Page. Four tabs—W eather , A vtn Wx, Srfc Wx, and Mrn Wx—allow you to adjust what weather items appear on the Map Page, and the zoom range at which they appear .

By selecting the W eather Data option on the Find menu, you can view the current conditions, forecast information, sea surface conditions, and weather bulletins.
5. Highlight the Bulletin tab to view marine weather bulletins. Marine Weather Bulletins Y ou can highlight a weather bulletin and press ENTER to view the full text of the marine weather bulletin. Marine Weather Bulletin Y ou can find weather forecast information for a different location.
S ETTING UP AND U SING S ONAR This section covers the additional sonar options for the GPSMAP 396 when used in conjunction with a GSD 20 or GSD 21 Sounder Module. Read the GSD 20/GSD 21 Installation Instructions to properly install the sounder module.
Using the Sonar Page When combined with a GSD 20 or GSD 21 Sounder Module, your GPSMAP 396 becomes a powerful fishfinder/flasher with the Sonar Page. If a GSD 20 or GSD 21 is attached, but the unit does not detect a transducer , a “Sonar T urned Of f” message appears across the Sonar Page.
Adjusting the Sonar Page The Adjustment Menu allows direct access to the settings and features most commonly used on the Sonar Page. There are ten main adjustment options available: Range, Zoom, V iew , Gain, T arget Level, Whiteline, Frequency , Depth Line, Noise Reject and Scroll.
Zoom —used to quickly select a zoom scale or to split the screen. When a scale other than No Zoom is selected, the Adjustment Menu shows a new selection labeled V iew or Span . The Zoom function is divided into six levels: • 2X Split —shows two reduced-size sonar pictures at the same time.
Depth Line —adds a horizontal depth line across the screen that is used to measure the depth of underwater objects. The depth of the line appears in a box on the right side of the line. Press up or down on the ROCKER to move the line on the Sonar Page.
Setting Up the Sonar Page Use the Sonar tab in the Main Menu to set up the Sonar Page. Press MENU two times to open the Main Menu. Select Sonar from the vertical row of tabs on the left, then select Setup from the row of tabs along the top of the screen.
Calibrating the Water Speed If you select T emp, Spd for the T ransducer option on the Sonar Setup tab, you also need to calibrate the water speed to ensure that the W ater Speed shown on your unit is accurate. The calibration should take place in water having little or no current.
Setting Up the Sonar Display Y ou can set up how the sonar information is shown on the screen. Press MENU two times to open the Main Menu. Select Sonar from the vertical row of tabs on the left, then select Display from the row of tabs along the top of the screen.
Understanding Sonar The transducer mounted on your vessel transmits sound waves toward the bottom of a lake, stream, or seabed in a cone-shaped pattern. When a transmitted sound wave strikes an underwater object—such as the bottom, a piece of structure, or a fish—sound is reflected back to the transducer .
Transducer Coverage The area covered by the transmitted sound waves is determined by the cone angle of the transducer and the water depth. The wide cone angles (40°) associated with low frequencies (50 kHz) provide a large coverage area for finding fish within a coverage width that is approximately 2/3 of the water depth.
Whiteline The GSD 20 or GSD 21 Sounder Module can help you determine whether the bottom is hard or soft. When the sonar sound waves are reflected back by the bottom, a hard bottom returns a stronger signal than a soft bottom. A thin whiteline indicates a softer bottom, while a thick whiteline indicates a harder bottom.
V iewing the Sonar T emperature T ab NOTE: Y ou must be receiving proper sonar data from another device, such as a Garmin GSD 20 or GSD 21 Sounder Module, to view temperature information. The T emperature sub tab provides a visual graph of water temperature changes over a period of time.
TIS (T RAFFIC I NFORMA TION S ERVICE ) TIS provides a graphic representation of traffic advisory information in the cockpit for non-TCAS equipped aircraft.
TIS Limitations TIS is NOT intended to be used as a collision avoidance system and does not relieve the pilot responsibility to “see and avoid” other aircraft. TIS should not be used for avoidance maneuvers during IMC or other times when there is no visual contact with the intruder aircraft.
TIS information is collected one radar scan prior to the scan during which the uplink occurs. Therefore, the surveillance information is approximately 5 seconds old. In order to present the intruders in a “real time” position, the TIS ground station uses a “predictive algorithm” in its tracking software.
The GPSMAP 396 supports TIS input from a Garmin Mode S transponder , such as the GTX 330. T o configure TIS input: 1. Press MENU twice. The Main Menu appears. 2. Highlight the Setup tab. 3. Use the ROCKER to select the Interface sub tab. 4. Highlight the Serial Data Format field, and use the ROCKER to select TIS In .
If the number of T raffic Advisories on the TIS display decreases and then increases, a new audio alert is sounded. The TIS audio alert is also generated whenever TIS service becomes unavailable. The following TIS audio alerts are available: • T raffic —TIS traffic alert received.
Map Page TIS traffic can be shown on the Map Page. T o configure TIS T raffic on the Map Page: 1. Press P AGE until the Map Page appears. 2. Press MENU . The Map Page options menu appears. 3. Highlight Set Up Map , and press ENTER . 4. Highlight the Map sub tab.
TIS Operational Procedures TIS warns the user with voice and visual traffic advisories whenever it predicts an intruder to be a threat. The user should not start evasive maneuvers using information from the GPSMAP 396 screen or on a traffic advisory only .
VHF C OMM The GPSMAP 396 can also output frequency data to a Garmin aviation radio. Currently the two models supported are the SL30 nav/comm and the SL40 comm. Refer to page 158 for wiring information. CAUTION: This interface does not have an F AA installation airworthiness approval.

Learning About GPS The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system made up of a network of 24 satellites placed into orbit by the United States Department of Defense. GPS was originally intended for military applications, but in the 1980s, the government made the system available for civilian use.
• Check Beacon W iring —the DGPS setting is enabled in the Interface sub tab on the Main Menu but no DGPS device is detected. • No Beacon Signal —DGPS receiver is attached, but not transmitting R TCM data to GPS. • T uning Beacon —the receiver is tuning manually to a DGPS frequency .
LORAN TD Setup LORAN TD is a radio navigation aid operated and maintained in the United States by the United States Coast Guard. The name LORAN is an acronym for “LOng RAnge Navigation.” The LORAN system covers the entire United States and the United States Coastal Confluence Zone.
