Same great screen as 696, without XM weather
If you love the huge screen and easy-to-use controls of the 696, but fly in areas where XM datalink coverage is unavailable (Europe, Australia)--or if you simply don’t need datalink weather—the 695 is a great value. It still includes same screen and controls as 696, plus charts, terrain, AOPA Airport Directory, taxiway charts and more.
Here’s why you’ll love it:
• Huge screen
The 7” diagonal screen is the largest screen available on a portable GPS, and features an impressive 800 x 480 pixel resolution. Terrain alerts and simulated instruments have never looked better, and charts can be shown at almost full resolution. The screen is also extremely bright, for superior readability in bright sunlight.
• Easy-to-use controls
The 695 features a Garmin G1000-style joystick that allows you to click, pan and twist, dramatically reducing data entry time. Soft keys automatically change function depending on the screen being viewed, to reduce the number of pages you have to scroll through.
• Charts
Finally, an easy way to view digital charts in the cockpit, with no extra wires or CDs to load. The 695 comes preloaded with all FAA/NACO approach plates, including arrivals, departures, airport diagrams and approaches. Charts can be viewed at nearly full size, or can be enlarged for easier reading.
• Simulated instrument panel
Pilots have come to love Garmin’s simulated instrument panel, which displays GPS-derived instruments for speed, altitude, vertical speed, bank angle and heading. On the 695, this feature can be viewed directly on the map page as a split screen—no scrolling required—for unbeatable situational awareness.
• Terrain
A dedicated terrain page shows nearby terrain and obstacles, and the 695 also includes a profile view that shows a side view of upcoming terrain. Terrain can also be overlaid on the main map page. Finally, pop-up alerts warn you of potential danger no matter what page you are viewing.
• AOPA Airport Directory
The most comprehensive collection of airport and facility information, AOPA’s Airport Directory shows FBO services, ground transportation, hotels, area attractions and much more. This is in addition to a full Jeppesen® database of runway lengths, frequencies and approach waypoints.
• Taxiway Maps
SafeTaxi™ maps show you detailed airport diagrams for over 650 airports, including hold short lines, ramp areas and taxiway labels. And, your airplane’s position is shown on the map, minimizing the risk of runway incursions.
• Truly Portable
Unlike hard to use computers or electronic flight bags, the 695 includes an internal battery and internal GPS antenna. You can fly completely wire-free if needed, making it invaluable as a backup navigation source.
Measures 5 3/4”l x 7 3/4”h x 1 1/2”d; weighs 2.3 lbs.
Includes: GPS unit with internal battery and GPS antenna, external GPS antenna, USB interface cable, yoke mount, wall charger, 10-36V power plug, free Jeppesen® update, quick reference guide, owner’s manual.

Better than I thought actually. I really love all the information that is at your fingertips. I went ahead and had it Flush-Mounted into my dash with an AirGizmo and it looks like it was born there. It's the closest thing I've seen to the G-1000 (which I trained on to get my certificate). The thing really should be IFR certified. It's great and I love it. Now hopefully no one will steal it.

Pros
Large screen, easy to read, highly configurable displays. Does not require external antenna to lock in multiple satellites and gain DGPS level accuracy (10ft). Plenty of information easily accessible - learning curve is very quick. Joystick makes data entry easier. Great for a renter like myself.
Cons
Supplied RAM yoke mount makes the unit stick too far back and away from the yoke, and there is no 'quick disconnect' from the yoke mount (screwed on). This makes it a bulky item in the flight bag. Software bug shows battery level as low even after a full charge.
General Comments
Integration with a PC-based flight planner is not ideal, since the supplied mapping software does not show aviation air space. This is probably true for most portables. However, the overriding benefit of great situational awareness and screen size is well worth this product. I believe screen size keeps heads down time to a minimum, since everything is easier to read. Beats panel mounted versions in price by a long shot, and you can take it with you to your next aircraft.
