Garmin G3X software update 5.20

I noticed that a new software update is available for the G3X Touch. Updates are below but I just have to say how impressed I am with the G3X team. A couple of the updates are something I requested just a few weeks ago in the wish list thread. Now maybe somebody beat me to the punch and it was already on the task list for this update but you gotta love when a team responds so nicely to the end user input! Well done TeamX!!

Good to hear Darin. I am on the 3rd or 4th update and Im still building!!
Just about finished with my cowling and front skin. I put a couple access panels in and they slowed me down. Im hope to be painting next week if it warms up a bit.

Have fun - we were just up in your neck of the world last weekend visiting our daughter in Seattle.

And you didn't stop by? ;-)

Can't wait to see your bird on the ramp at KPLU all painted and pretty!

I would have loved to come up and go for a ride. We spent most of the time building an arbor and landscaping. Any extra time was spent eating at some of the great places to eat in Seattle. We lack interesting places to eat in the Boise area!

wish they'd put the XM controls ON PFD and MFD, and/or show artist/track/station somewhere other than that page

Looks like the 5.20 update has been pulled from the Garmin site. Anyone know why?

i just recently noticed the XM-weather has turbulence forecast and icing forecast products, is this something added within the past few releases?

curious why the turbulence forecast only reads 18,000 and up
