With a bright, three-line vacuum-fluorescent display, a comprehensive Jeppesen database and a built-in backup battery, the GARMIN GPS 150 puts a world of easy-access navigation power in your panel to make flying and flight planning easier than you ever dreamed possible.

Aviation's most popular panel mount GPS navigator, the GPS 150 features a front-loading Jeppesen data card for airport (including runway lengths, approach and localizer frequencies), VOR, NDB, intersection, airspace, MSA and FSS information. Add in full E6-B functions-- including winds aloft, true airspeed and density altitude-- and room for 1,000 user waypoints and 20 reversible flight plans, and it's easy to see why the GPS 150 sets the standard for panel mount value.

The GPS 150 uses the same receiver as our IFR models to deliver fast, accurate speed, position and course information, while the easy to read display provides simple, intuitive navigation guidance and data from takeoff to touchdown. A built-in rechargeable battery will automatically provide up to two hours of power in the event of aircraft power loss, while the convenient checklist and message functions keep important time-critical events and procedures right at your fingertips.
