ChartView Key

Garmin GPSMAP 695/696

ChartView brings an electronic version of Jeppesen's extensive, worldwide library of charts and airport diagrams directly to the GPSMAP 695/696 and other supported devices. ChartView displays approach charts, arrival and departure procedures, airport diagrams, and even geo-references your current position directly on the chart.

In order to install and use Jeppesen's ChartView, you will need to purchase a ChartView Key: a feature-enabling key purchased one time for the life of the device. Purchasing the ChartView Key only enables the device to use ChartView; ChartView data is available from Jeppesen.

Note: The charts from each ChartView database cycle can be displayed for up to 10 weeks past the expiration date of the database.
