Latest FIS-B Weather Products and More Added to GTN 650/750 Series
We have incorporated new enhancements and features to our GTN 650/750 series touchscreen navigators. With the latest software update and a compatible ADS-B In receiver, pilots can now view new FIS-B weather products on the GTN. Also, when the GTN 650/750 is paired with a G3X Touch flight display in experimental/amateur-built aircraft, pilots now have the option to edit VFR flight plan information from the G3X Touch. These features and more are available immediately from Garmin Authorized Dealers for hundreds of aircraft makes and models.
New
FIS-B weather product support
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 650/750. These new weather products include lightning, cloud tops,
turbulence, icing (current and forecasted), graphical AIRMETs and center
weather advisories (CWA). This adds to the growing number of Garmin products
that already support these new weather products, including Garmin Pilot on
Apple mobile devices, G3X Touch and the aera 660 aviation portable.
G3X
Touch flight plan editing
Pilots who have a GTN 650/750 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.
Additional
features
- The
GTN 650/750 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. - Pilots
operating into airports throughout the world that are not served by SBAS, can
now receive advisory vertical guidance (LNAV+V) while flying LNAV approaches
with the GTN 650/750. - When
SiriusXM aviation weather or FIS-B weather cannot be displayed on the GTN
650/750, the “no coverage” area of weather is transparent so pilots can still
view airports, basemap information and more. - Customers
receive a VNAV aural alert for Top of Descent (TOD). - Traffic
and weather from a GNX 375 can now be displayed within the GTN 650/750.
