What's Different?
This “mini-MFD” portable includes the advanced features of the Garmin GPSMAP 496 — minus XM™ compatibility and preloaded maps — at a price you’ll love. It comes loaded with SafeTaxi® airport diagrams, AOPA’s Airport Directory data, Garmin’s Smart Airspace™, super-fast update speed, enhanced terrain and aviation databases and more. Add optional mapping to this versatile handheld for use on land or water.

The GPSMAP 495 has everything that the 496 has with three exceptions - it has a much lower cost, no XM weather, and no pre-loaded City Navigator NT. This portable unit does feature: SafeTaxi, AOPA airport directory, enhanced terrain warning, 5Hz GPS receiver, Smart Airspace, and private airports and heliports. And even though the GPSMAP 495 does not come with the City Navigator NT loaded, you still retain the ability to load road maps and marine charts to the unit. As for the other exception, the GPSMAP 495 does not have the ability to display any XM WX satellite weather data, so the unit will not come with a GXM 30A antenna.

View Your Position on Taxiways
Garmin SafeTaxi(TM) data provides detailed taxiway diagrams and position information for over 650 U.S. airports. Preloaded on the unit, this information helps you navigate unfamiliar airports with confidence and shows your aircraft's exact position on the field.

Easily Access AOPA Airport Directory
Look up taxi services, plan an overnight, choose fuel stops and more with the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) Airport Directory included on the GPSMAP 495. This indispensable reference guide puts a wealth of airport and travel information at your fingertips. It offers detailed information for over 5,300 U.S. airports along with the names and phone numbers of thousands of FBOs, plus ground transportation, lodging, restaurants, local attractions and more.

Receive Altitude-Sensitive Smart Airspace(TM) Alerts
When in the air, Garmin's new Smart Airspace feature makes it easier than ever to identify what airspace lies ahead. Smart Airspace automatically highlights airspace close to the pilot's current altitude and de-emphasizes airspace away from the current altitude, which gives you increased situational awareness.

Navigate with Enhanced Terrain and Aviation Databases
The GPSMAP 495 features a built-in Jeppesen database with terrain and obstacle databases. Fly with informed confidence thanks to the enhanced, higher-resolution terrain database. With over ten times as much data as the 396's terrain database, the 495 provides even more visual reference. It monitors your current position in relation to surrounding terrain to provide alerts. Even customize your own minimum clearance levels to receive terrain cautions. With the unit's Jeppesen(R) database, you can view your flight route displayed over contour terrain mapping. The addition of private airports and heliports to the database provides even more navigation and emergency "nearest" options.

Enjoy Faster Update Rate for Maps and Indicators
For added realism and safety, the 495 updates map data and "Panel" page instruments at 5 Hz, a significantly faster update rate that gives you a smoother, near "real-time" presentation of your aircraft's analog indicators, such as the HSI and turn coordinator.

Customer Reviews For Garmin GPSMAP 495 (Americas): Write a review

Monday, July 14, 2008 Try it, you won't like it, YOU'LL LOVE IT!!!!! by Casper J from Fayetteville NC USA  Pros: More colors, larger screen faster access. Cons: NONE that I know of. Review: I've owned 3 other GPS and I must say, this is the best. Better viewing, quicker access, does a lot more then my others did. I'm still learning about my 495. People asked me why I didn't purchase the 496. My response was, I didn't want to spend $600.00 a year for weather up dates. I cannot say anything bad about the 495. It has exceded my expectations. OOOOH! You can't beat the taxi information. Tuesday, July 01, 2008 Everything it was promised to be! by Ruckus from Clifton Park NY USA  Pros: Fast processor, Safe Taxi, great included accessories Cons: No automotive kit included, Review: I owned a 296 and was planning to buy a 496 even though I had no intention of paying the monthly subscription for the weather. Enter the 495 which filled the gap perfectly. The processor is much faster than my 296 and the added features of the AOPA directory and Safe-Taxi plates are great making this far superior to the already great 296. I think they should have included the Automotive software with the 495 package as they do for the 496 but I was able to get the mapping software and data card on eBay for less than $150 to give my 495 full automotive functionality. Actually better than that which comes with the 496 because I was able to get an aftermarket 512mb data card for a fraction of what Garmin charges for their 128mb card. All in all, if you do not need weather data in your handheld GPS this is an amazing unit at a more than fair price.
