Garmin 96c problem/query (Merged)
Newbie to GPS. Just bought this unit and trying to set it up. One (so far!) problem.
On map set up page there is no (as per instruction manual) "Set up obstacles" in list of options. Anyone know why this should be so? |
According to the Garmin website the obstacle database only covers the USA, so maybe they just don't give you the menu option when the European mapset is loaded.
Perhaps a future downloadable update will include obstacles for the UK and the rest of Europe? |
Thanks for that, Henry.

Another Garmin 96c query
Sorry to be a pain, folks. I have not used this in "anger" yet, so can anyone who has experienced its use tell me if, in a PA-28, I am like likely to need the remote antenna?

My Garmin 296 definitely requires external in our PA28

Also, having then bought a remote antenna, you'll find that the accuracy is far more precise. You don't need the Garmin unit at £80 though - there are plenty of units available on ebay for far less. I f you want a specific, I bought one, including mount for less than £25 - PM me for details if you need. DW :ok: |

My GPS96 (mono) works fine in a PA28 WITHOUT the extra antenna. I'd say try it before you take the plunge in buying extras for it!

My 96c also worked perfectly in a PA-28. The batteries won't last more than 2 hours if you use the background lighting though. Use the cigarette lighter adaptor if it is available to you.

I used the 96c in the club archer for about 8 months without antenna. For the last four months I have used the external antenna and it is MILES better.
