help needed with garmin 695

hi,

i recently bought the garmin 695, i have worked everything out but cant get airspace warnings / alerts to show up - nor does it display the nearest airspace as described in the manual -
the unit is within class D airspace sfc to 8500ft but doesnt say anything at all.

any ideas

regards

[JTobias]

Is smart airspace turned on or off?

[nellycopter]

ON - all aairspace is also on !
the book says if you are inside airspace it should warn you -
it doesnt and it didnt give any sort of warning when i flew into class D sfc to 8000ft.

any help would be appreciated.

[JTobias]

I think you may have done this, but just in case
Check what settings you have in the "Alarms" section of the system setup

1. Press "Menu" twice
2. Highlight "System Setup" and pres enter
3. Select "Alarms"

You should now see a list of all the categories of airspace and whether they are set to alert you or not.

If that doesn't work, let me know and when I'm in my machine this weekend I'll take a look. I'm better at working this stuff out when the unit is in front of me.

cheers Joel for your help,

i have all the alerts set to on. but still cant get anything.
tell me - when you press the nearest button and then go to the end - nearest airspace - does anything come up on yours -
as i get nothing in this screen either !

cheers

[JTobias]

I know that Airspace appears in the nearest section of mine.
My guess is that there is some simple setting on yours that is overiding the alerts.

I'll pop down to my machine today and take a look and see if I come up with anything.

Joel

[JTobias]

OK, I don't know whether this helps or not, but I took my machine out for a spin this afternoon and checked my settings.

All my Airspace alarms were OFF.
So I switched them all on and as I was operating near Manchester's airspace I received alerts immediateley.

So I'm a bit stuck now.
Is your Airspace up to date (although it shouln't really matter)

European IFR Flite charts for G 695

HI Guys just a seemingly Impossible question that NO ONE can answer. I have the Garmin 695 and am operating in Europe, I would love to one day use the European IFR charts on this unit, however there seems to be no direct way to get an answer on when or who will be providing the service. Although it is a nice unit I would really like to be able to pull up IFR charts one day.

I would really like to be able to pull up IFR charts one day

This probably wont happen until Garmin decides to support it. In the U.S. the govt. published charts are in the public domain and Garmin can incorporate these without significant cost. Not sure if this is the case in other regions/countries.

IFR charts Europe

Thanks for that, it was the answer I was afraid of, it is true IFR charts in the USA are public however here in Europe you don't know which hand to grease. If it is not available by the time EBACE is, then I will ask both Jeppesen and Garmin directly, also the Aero is on next month and I wil also try for a direct answer.

JT - just bought a 695 for my Jetbanger - you mention RAM suction mounts, but what did you use for the permanent fixing in the photo? Is that hardware in the box?

Cheers mate - speak soon

[JTobias]

I should be on bloody commission.
I'll phone you to discuss

Not flown with my 696 yet but having read the manual and set it up so far it seems impossible to get rid of airways which is way to many lines on the screen and just leave the relevant airspace I would have had on my 295.

I have airways turned off in the settings and smart space to on

Any ideas ?

[JTobias]

Are you in demo mode by any chance?
If so put it into normal mode and let it acquire some satellites.
After that the smart airspace should kick in and the clutter should go
