Hello,
We released V5.20 software today for the Aera 79X.
Some of the significant new features are highlighted below.
TargetTrend traffic information showing a track vector where traffic will be in a specified time in the future relative to your aircraft was already available on the dedicated traffic page, but not on the main map. With this update, it is now available on the main map.
A much requested feature is the display of airspace segment altitude upper and lower limits similar to what is provided on VFR sectionals. This is now displayed full time on the map page (at appropriate zoom ranges) without having to first touch an airspace segment.
Finally, SXM weather doesn't provide NOTAMS, but ADS-B weather does. If you have both a GXM 40/42 satellite weather receiver and a GDL 39 or GTX 345 ADS-B traffic/weather receiver connected to your Aera 796, the unit will receive and display the FIS-B provided NOTAMS even when you have selected the SXM weather for display so you get the benefits of both.
Changes made from version 5.10 to 5.20:
Thanks,
Steve
