The GPS 90 became the best-selling aviation handheld by offering pilots powerful navigation features and tremendous value all in the smallest GPS package you can buy. Add in a crisp, backlit LCD display, an easy to use operating system and up to 20 hours of use on just four AA batteries, and it's no wonder the GPS 90 is the preferred choice of pilots around the world.
The GPS 90 features a full Jeppesen® database complete with runway diagrams, airport frequencies and airport services and altitude sensitive, sectorized Class B and C airspace alerts. All on a 2.2 x 1.5 display that offers superior readability, even in direct sunlight. And it's easily accessible through a few simple keystrokes. The GPS 90's moving map display keeps track of your every move, along with nearby airports, navaids and waypoints. With continuous track, bearing, distance and ground speed data on screen, you can use the moving map to navigate right to your destination.
But the power of the GPS 90 doesn't stop there. The navigation page provides steering guidance to your destination, complete with VNAV, ETE and crosstrack data. Top it off with a full complement of standard accessories like a universal yoke mount, power cable and antenna mount, and you've got the handheld GPS pilots just can't get enough of—the Garmin® GPS 90.
