Re: Garmin GPSMAP 296 Spoken messages/alerts in aviation mode?

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?

In the owners manual Rev. A page 69 it makes mention of audible alerts on
the
terrain page.

Thanks for pointing to this section, but there is no mention in the manual
if this is a spoken voice alert or just a warning tone. It would be nice if
the unit speaks out a "terrain" or "obstacle" alert just like a real TAWS.
Although I think the GPSMAP 296 must be technically very capable of doing
this, I am unsure about this.

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.

Mark, thanks for the information. I shall check with the aircraft operator
if he gives me the possibility to add external audio to the audio panel or
to the intercom or I shall look into the possibility to add the audio to the
headset.
