Sportys Intro's 'Flying the Garmin GPSMAP 396' DVD

Sportys' latest DVD release tackles the latest new portable GPS system from Garmin. Sportys notes that, "Garmin brings situational awareness to a new level with its portable GPSMAP 396, and now you can see for yourself how this remarkable GPS works. In Flying the Garmin GPSMAP 396, Richard Collins explains and demonstrates the extraordinary capabilities of this feature-packed, portable glass cockpit, cutting through the complicated manuals to provide a real world perspective."

In addition to explaining the basic operation, Collins highlights the elements of the innovative XM satellite weather integration and shows how both VFR and IFR pilots can benefit from portable datalink technology.

The DVD demonstrates how the unit provides terrain proximity warning, a visual display of NEXRAD radar, lightning, text weather and TFRs, all while providing pinpoint navigation guidance.

Flying the Garmin GPSMAP 396 [D396A] is available for $24.95.
