Garmin GPSMAP 96 Owner's Manual - Page 29

Understanding Vectors The Vectors option that appears at the last step of selecting an approach determines how you navigate to the final approach waypoint in the approach. Active Approach Page If you select Vectors, the GPSMAP 96/96C creates an extension of the final course, beyond the final approach waypoint in the database (final approach fix [FAF]). The GPSMAP 96/96C provides no guidance to the inbound course. The course deviation needle Basic Operation >  on the graphic HSI remains off-center until you are established on this final approach course. The Map Page shows an extension of the final approach course using a bold magenta line. The HSI automatically slews (rotate to show the direction) to the inbound course. On the Active Route (or Active Approach) Page, a Vector to Final symbol appears adjacent to the first approach waypoint. If No is selected for the Vectors? or the Go to FAF option is selected from the Approach Go To Page, the GPSMAP 96/96C creates a straight-line course directly to the first waypoint in the approach (from wherever you are when you initiate the approach). This works much like any other route with course guidance from point-to-point and a turn usually required as you cross each waypoint. 96/96C Owner's Manual 21
