Basic Operation >  VNAV (Vertical Navigation) Setup Page The VNAV Page provides settings for the vertical navigation feature. These settings create a threedimensional profile that guides you from your present position and altitude to a final (target) altitude at a specified location. When defined, message alerts and data track your progress on the HSI Page. A VNAV indicator appears as a moving bar depicting the Vertical Deviation from the VNAV Profile. As you approach the initial descent point, the time to vertical navigation field (ETV) indicates the time to reach the initial descent point. The "Approaching VNAV Profile" message appears one minute prior to the initial descent point. The descent angle locks to prevent changes in speed from altering the profile. The VNAV feature does not take into account any changes in groundspeed that occur during the transition from level flight to descent or climb. The "Approaching Target Altitude" message appears at 500 ft above the target altitude, the time to vertical navigation goes blank, and the VNAV indicator disappears from the HSI Page.

VNAV (Vertical Navigation) Setup Page
The VNAV Page provides settings for the vertical
navigation feature. These settings create a three-
dimensional profile that guides you from your present
position and altitude to a final (target) altitude at a
specified location. When defined, message alerts and
data track your progress on the HSI Page.
VNAV on HSI Page
A VNAV indicator
appears as
a moving bar
depicting the
Vertical Deviation
from the VNAV
Profile.
NOTE:
The GPSMAP 96/96C is a VFR
navigation tool and should not be used to
perform instrument approaches. VNAV is only a
VFR navigation instrument and is not intended
for instrument approaches.
As you approach the initial descent point, the time
to vertical navigation field (ETV) indicates the time
to reach the initial descent point. The “Approaching
VNAV Profile” message appears one minute prior to
the initial descent point. The descent angle locks to
prevent changes in speed from altering the profile.
The VNAV feature does not take into account
any changes in groundspeed that occur during the
transition from level flight to descent or climb. The
“Approaching Target Altitude” message appears at
500 ft above the target altitude, the time to vertical
navigation goes blank, and the VNAV indicator
disappears from the HSI Page.
