Incorporates GTX 345 ADS-B In display
capability, database synchronization and more
Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN),
today announced an expanded feature set for the G500/G600 glass
flight displays. The new GTX 345 all-in-one Automatic
Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) transponder now interfaces
with the G500/G600 to display the benefits of ADS-B In traffic and
weather. Additionally, database synchronization streamlines
database updating when two G500/G600 systems are paired together or
when a G500/G600 is paired with a GTN™ 650/750 touchscreen series
navigator. Flight Stream 510 installed in a GTN enables Database
Concierge wireless database updates across all installed G500/G600
and GTN products. The addition of European Visual Reporting Points
(VRPs) and other customer-requested features also enable a variety
of new capabilities within the G500/G600 glass flight displays.

“We continue to make enhancements to the G500/G600 that bring a
wealth of capability to these systems through easy software
upgrades,” said Carl Wolf, Garmin vice president of aviation sales
and marketing. “We’ve listened to our customers and incorporated
their requests to give them what they’re looking for – additional
ADS-B traffic and weather display options, simplified database
management, enhanced cockpit connectivity and more. With this, we
continue to raise the bar by incorporating a comprehensive feature
set that surpasses other retrofit glass flight displays on the
market.”
GTX 345 ADS-B In traffic & weather
Advanced ADS-B integration is available with the GTX 345
all-in-one ADS-B transponder, offering pilots the capability to
display ADS-B traffic and subscription-free Flight Information
Service-Broadcast (FIS-B) weather1 on the G500/G600 flight
displays. Regardless of the existing avionics configuration, the
GTX 345 unlocks more capabilities for pilots by also displaying
ADS-B traffic, weather, GPS position data and back-up attitude
information on select Garmin portables, and the popular Garmin
Pilot™ and ForeFlight Mobile apps via Bluetooth® and Connext®
wireless technology. Unique features such as TerminalTraffic™
provides pilots with a comprehensive picture of ADS-B-equipped
aircraft and ground vehicles in the airport environment. Further
enhancing the traffic display, TargetTrend™ relative motion
technology helps pilots visualize the trend of traffic as it
relates to their aircraft. For customers with synthetic vision
technology (SVT™) enabled, traffic targets are displayed on the
PFD. Pilots also have access to a comprehensive set of FIS-B
weather products via the GTX 345, including NEXRAD, METARs, TAFs,
PIREPs, winds and temperatures aloft, NOTAMs and
AIRMET/SIGMETs.
Database synchronization
Customers with one or more GTN touchscreen navigators installed
alongside a G500/G600 or those with a dual G500/G600 installation
receive additional benefits with database sync. Once customers
complete the wireless database transfer to the GTN, the databases
are automatically synced with the G500/G600. Chart streaming also
allows pilots to view and utilize departure, approach and arrival
charts when needed, even while the full chart database is
synchronizing with the G500/G600.
When a G500/G600 is paired with a GTN 650/750 touchscreen
navigator and Flight Stream 510, customers receive Database
Concierge wireless database transfer capabilities via a mobile
device operating Garmin Pilot. Pilots can more easily manage their
database subscriptions with Flight Stream 510 and also receive
additional benefits such as wireless flight plan transfer, the
sharing of traffic, weather, GPS and more. With Flight Stream and a
GTN, G500/G600 customers can also wirelessly display back-up
attitude information within a mobile device.
Additional enhancements and updates
The G500/G600 flight displays also offer additional functions
and options, including:
- European Visual Reporting Points (VRPs)
display on the moving map
- Ownship icons match those from the GTN
650/750 touchscreen series
- Option to display weather radar across
multiple displays in a dual G500/G600 installation
- For new installations, support for the
GSU 75 ADAHRS combines air data, attitude and heading reference,
which reduces wiring and installation complexity
The new features and capabilities for the G500/G600 are expected
to be available in September as a free software upgrade from Garmin
Authorized Dealers (installation charges may apply). This software
upgrade is supported by Garmin’s award-winning aviation product
support team, which provides 24/7 worldwide technical and warranty
