For those that have Garmin 400w/500w navigators, version 3.0 software release (SB 07040 rev A) is now available.
RE: New Garmin V 3.0 Software release. Service Bulletin N0. 0740 Rev A Garmin has released two new software updates for 400W and 500W series units (i.e. 400W, 420W, 430W, 500W, 530W, ect).
These software updates are for the GPS sub assemble and for the main processor sub assembly. These updates can be performed by Garmin dealers in the field and should take about 1 hour to complete. Along with the new software update you will receive a new POH supplement.
This is a no charge update and Garmin has marked this update as Mandatory. Here is a list of the changes the new update will address:
? Added the ability to load an arrival or departure without first removing existing arrival or departure, addressing the issue described in Service Alert 070227-00
? Corrected compatibility issue with WX500 Storm scope identified in Installation Bulletin 0711
? Reduced TAWS nuisance alerts for circling approaches
? Added ability to store and remotely tune up to 15 radio channels
? Added XM weather products: Lightning, Cell Movement, and Winds Aloft
? Added compatibility with Avidyne product?s: EXP5000 PFD, EX5000 MFD and EX500 MFD
? Added capability to display vertical GPS approach guidance on Honeywell EFS 40/50
? Added capability to display traffic from Honeywell KMH 980 (KMH 920) and KTA 970 (KTA 910)
? Improved prompting for course reversals at IAF transitions on approach
? Improved Auto-Zoom functionality
? Improved VNAV functionality during holds
? Corrected the operation of the E6B winds aloft calculation on Winds page
? Unit now retains user settings on NAV1 page over a power cycle (400W series units)
? Unit now starts up in last mode used (GPS or VLOC) instead of reverting to GPS mode at startup
? Corrected issue of intermittent screen flashing
