GPSMAP 195 or 196

Where is this feature located in the 195 and III pilot? I have looked for
it on my 295 with no luck, perhaps I can find it with all of your assistance.
PS: I presume you mean the AIRCRAFT's DC voltage, not the battery voltage...

Garmin GPS 195
Go to the HEADING page (between the ACQUIRING SATELLITES and the MAP page)
Press the MENU button
Scroll down to CHANGE DATA FIELDS
Press EDIT/ENTER
Use the curser control to select a field to change
Press EDIT
Scroll to VDC (Volts DC)
Press EDIT/ENTER
Press QUIT

ummm, oh snot! I shot myself in the foot... My bad...
I just posted that I compared the 195/196 and the 195 doesn't have dc
volts... As soon as I read your post, I smucked my forehead with the heel
of my hand - of course it does! It's been so long since I changed any of
the data fields on the 195 I totally forgot about it being an option in that
screen...well, it does ride over on on the co-pilots yoke, after all
denny
well, I gotta have some excuse, it can't be my fault!

On the III it is on the position page. Those six boxes on the top 3/4
of the page are user configurable. For example you can display totally
useless info like the sunset and sunrise times, trip odometer, etc.

Hmm, isn't that interesting. The 295 has no such option as VDC. It has
all of the useless options, though. Thanks for checking, both of you!

No DC voltage readout on the 195... I didn't bother answer whoever said
there was because it was obvious he was guessing, where I was giving real
world data from the 195/196 units actually in my airplane when I fly...

And yes, that's ships DC I'm discussing, not the 195's batteries...
I know nuttin about a III Pilot...

Newps wrote no such thing.

Well, I wasn't the one who originally posted about the DC voltage
readout, but I will verify that there is one. If you have the 195
plugged into the cigarette lighter, it will give you the DC voltage
reading. I've found it to be a very handy feature. I don't have the
unit in front of me, but it's on the "position page". Each of those
fields is programmable and one of the choices is DC voltage. This is
all in the manual.

Denny, you must live in a different real world than I do. Or maybe
you were obviously just guessing. :-)
