Good Moring! As of just a few minutes ago G3X Touch software version 6.20 has been posted to the Garmin website. You can download the software here: https://www8.garmin.com/support/collection.jsp?product=010-00G3X-00
Version 6.20 contains the following changes with respect to version 6.10:
Recently, we announced the release of GTN version 6.50 software. If you missed that announcement, you can read about it here: http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showthread.php?t=162365
NOTE: If you do not have a GTN navigator, the G3X Touch continues to support the same VNAV functionality as was previously available. In addition, the magenta VNAV target altitude will now be displayed above the altitude strip.
One of the key new features of the GTN is support for VNAV constraints at multiple waypoints in the flight plan. When loading an arrival or an approach, the GTN will auto populate the altitude constraints.
The integration of this feature in the G3X Touch enables the display of VNAV deviation and altitude constraint on the PFD. In addition, the autopilot when engaged in VNAV mode will follow the vertical descent profile. Take a look at the next post for an example approach using this new capability.
Thanks,
Levi
