Default How different is aviation GPS?

Years and years ago, I was told how to access some diagnostic modes on my
Garmin GPSMAP 195. The diagnostic mode showed the state of all sorts of
internal stuff, and from that it was apparent that one major difference
between the aviation 195 and the marine 175 is that the 195 had
temperature and pressure sensors. I suspect they put that in there so
that they could correct the results from the GPS radio for those factors.
The other major difference was that the 195 had WAY more flash memory to
store all those aviation waypoints.


Paul,
Do you happen to remember what the keystrokes were to get to the 195's
diagnostic mode? I'd be curious to see what mine is saying.
