Hi,
I am using my Garmin GPSMAP 296 in small airplanes. Now I am wondering, when
you
connect the external speaker to the GPSMAP 296, do you get voice messages in
aviation mode?
It would be nice if you get terrain warnings, obstacle warnings, fuel tank
timer alarm, air space alarms, off course alarm, alerts when passing
waypoints in a route and so on.
If this is the case it could be useful to connect the speaker output to the
intercom or to the headset for extra awareness. Does have anybody experience
with this?
I don't have such a speaker so I cannot try it myself.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
In the owners manual Rev. A page 69 it makes mention of audible
alerts
on the terrain page.
I have seen some headsets that have a jack to add audio to the
headset.

Some of the newer audio panels will have inputs for a external audio
input
and some intercom units will have a aux input also.
If its an a/c you use alot you could add the jack to the audio panel
or intercom
and have it for adding music if you wanted to.
And if you are in there add the power to the gps also and then the
battery
can be charged while you are using it.
You will have to get the power / data cable with bare ends.
hook up the power and audio and cap off the data wires unless you have
a
GNS430/530 then you can connect the 430/530 to the 296 and see the
flight
plan on the 296 from the 430/530.
