One of the GPSMAP 696 features that is putting smiles on customers’ faces is the ability to pull up IFR chart information. The IFR map is easily accessible with the soft key buttons on the MAP page.  Choosing the “IFR MAP” gives you the option to view “LOW AWY” (Low Airways), “HIGH AWY” (High Airways), or both.  With the IFR map selected you can easily pull up MEAs (Minimum Enroute Altitude) and distances between intersections by using the map cursor.  Also the 696 has highways, cities, railroads, and other VFR information displayed on the map to aid in situational awareness.  The IFR map also can be overlaid with the weather or the terrain increasing your situational awareness even further.  With the FliteCharts database of departure procedures, arrival routes, and instrument approaches combined with the IFR map the 696 is a valuable reference for the IFR pilot.
