September 27, 2008 - Install Garmin GPSMap 496 |
||||||
|
I waited as long as I could to order the GPS in hopes of a lower price but finally came to the point where I could put it off no longer. Here's a shot of the Garmin GPSMap 496 in the panel in the Airgizmo dock. |

The panel is complete, now. |

| I quickly found out that to hook the 496 to aircraft power and the wing-leveler autopilot, I needed to order a separate Data cable. No problem. Three days later it was in the house. I just had to butt splice three wires: power, ground and the autopilot. | ||||||
|
||||||
| The antenna wires and data cable go through the back of the Airgizmo mount as shown below. I left plenty of slack in wires/cables. This way I can remove the 496 from the panel dock quickly and easily. | ||||||
