INTRODUCTION
CAUTION
The GPS system is operated by the United States government, which is solely
responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The system is subject to changes which
could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment. Although the GARMIN
GPSMAP 195 is a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID), any NAVAID can be
misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become unsafe.
Use the GPSMAP 195 at your own risk. To reduce the risk of unsafe operation,
carefully review and understand all aspects of this Owner’s Manual—and thoroughly
practice operation using the simulator mode prior to actual use. When in actual use,
carefully compare indications from the GPSMAP 195 to all available navigation sources,
including the information from other NAVAIDs, visual sightings, charts, etc. For safety,
always resolve any discrepancies before continuing navigation.
NOTE: This device complies with Part 15 FCC limits for Class B digital devices. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Furthermore, there
is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by relocating the
equipment or connecting the equipment to a different circuit. Consult an authorized dealer or other
qualified technician for additional help if these remedies do not correct the problem.
Operation of this device is subject to the following conditions: (1) This device may not cause harm-
ful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
The GPSMAP 195 does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Repairs should only
be made by an authorized GARMIN service center. Unauthorized repairs or modifica-
tions could void your warranty and your authority to operate this device under Part 15
regulations.
WARNING: The moving map display is an aid to navigation and is designed to facilitate the
use of authorized government charts, not replace them. Only official government charts and
notices to airmen (NOTAMs) contain all information needed for safe navigation—and, as
always, the user is responsible for their prudent use.

INTRODUCTION
PREFACE
Congratulations on choosing one of the most advanced aircraft navigation systems
available today! The GARMIN GPSMAP 195 combines the proven performance of
GARMIN’s twelve parallel channel GPS receiver with detailed cartography for an unsur-
passed moving map display wherever you fly. To get the most from your new GPSMAP
195, take the time to read through this owner’s manual and learn the operating proce-
dures for your unit. This manual is divided into two main sections for your convenience.
Section One: Takeoff Tour introduces the basic features of the GPSMAP 195. This
section is a “getting started” guide to acquaint you with the unit’s major features. This
will provide you with the basic working knowledge necessary to use the unit to its full
potential. In this section you will learn how to power the unit on and obtain a position
fix. Then you will place the GPSMAP 195 in “Simulator Mode” for a sample trip, which
will introduce many of the unit’s capabilities.
Section Two: Reference provides a detailed reference to all the features and operations
of the GPSMAP 195. This allows you to concentrate on a specific topic quickly, without
reading through entire sections of text. You may also wish to refer to this section for
information about the more advanced features not covered in Section One.
