--- Updated June 10, 2019, Software Available Now --
Hello,
The GTN V6.62 EAB service bulletin and software are available for download in our standard location on the G3X/G3X Touch software download page.
We are very pleased to announce some new GTN integration with G3X Touch including display of the selected altitude intercept arc on the GTN map (like is already shown on the G3X Touch map) and VFR flight plan editing on the G3X Touch displays and automatic transfer to the GTN.
Here is a list of new features and improvements in GTN V6.62:
Note: To utilize flight plan syncing between G3X Touch and GTN 6XX/7XX, GPS 175, and GNX 375, "External FPL Crossfill" must be enabled in normal mode on the System Setup page, and "External FPL" must be enabled on the Main System configuration page in configuration mode.
Thanks,
Steve
Hello,
The GTN V6.62 EAB service bulletin and software are available for download in our standard location on the G3X/G3X Touch software download page.
We are very pleased to announce some new GTN integration with G3X Touch including display of the selected altitude intercept arc on the GTN map (like is already shown on the G3X Touch map) and VFR flight plan editing on the G3X Touch displays and automatic transfer to the GTN.
Here is a list of new features and improvements in GTN V6.62:
- G3X Touch flight plan editing - Pilots who have a GTN 6XX/7XX installed alongside a G3X Touch flight display in an experimental/amateur-built aircraft now have additional flight planning and editing options. VFR flight plans can now be completed on the G3X Touch display, and then automatically synced to the GTN for added convenience when using either the G3X Touch or GTN.
- The GTN 6XX/7XX now displays a selected altitude intercept arc on the moving map when it?s installed with a Garmin primary flight display (PFD) such as the G500 TXi/G600 TXi, G500/G600 or G3X Touch. When pilots input a preselected altitude on the PFD, the selected altitude arc will populate on the map page to indicate where the aircraft will arrive at that particular altitude.
- For customers with SiriusXM Aviation Weather, pilots now have the option to alternate between base reflectivity and composite reflectivity NEXRAD weather radar imagery.
- Improved availability for advisory vertical guidance (LNAV+V) on LNAV approaches in areas around the world without SBAS coverage.
- When SiriusXM aviation weather or FIS-B weather cannot be displayed on the GTN 6XX/7XX, the ?no coverage? area of weather is transparent so pilots can still view airports, basemap information and more.
- A VNAV aural alert is now available for Top of Descent (TOD).
- Traffic and weather from a GNX 375 can now be displayed within the GTN 6XX/7XX.
- When paired with a compatible ADS-B In product such as the GTX 345 or GDL 88, pilots can now access the latest FIS-B weather products on the moving map alongside flight plan information and dedicated weather pages within GTN 6XX/7XX. These new weather products include lightning, cloud tops, turbulence, icing (current and forecasted), graphical AIRMETs and center weather advisories (CWA).
Note: To utilize flight plan syncing between G3X Touch and GTN 6XX/7XX, GPS 175, and GNX 375, "External FPL Crossfill" must be enabled in normal mode on the System Setup page, and "External FPL" must be enabled on the Main System configuration page in configuration mode.
Thanks,
Steve
