AERO FRIEDRICHSHAFEN, Germany,
April 4, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ:
GRMN), and Jeppesen, a Boeing Company, recently announced new
wireless data transfer capabilities for Jeppesen terminal charts
that are accessed through select Garmin avionics and the iOS-based
Garmin Pilot app. This development enhances the integrated data
capabilities from the two companies that advance cockpit technology
and improve the flying experience for general aviation pilots.
"The ability to provide wireless data updates streamlines the
flight preparation process and allows pilots to take the skies more
quickly," said Scott Reagan,
director, Jeppesen OEM Client Management. "This wireless data
transfer capability illustrates how Garmin and Jeppesen work
together to simplify the delivery of essential flight data to
private pilots flying with Garmin avionics and Garmin Pilot."
Pilots using the GTN 650/750 touchscreen navigator or the G1000
NXi integrated flight deck with Flight Stream 510 will now be able
to wirelessly transfer Jeppesen terminal charts through the
iOS-based Garmin Pilot app to their avionics systems. The Flight
Stream 510 MultiMediaCard (MMC) from Garmin includes Database
Concierge, the tool that transfers Jeppesen aviation database
updates from the app to supported Garmin avionics.
"As we continue to pack more features and capabilities into
Garmin Pilot, we're excited to provide our customers around the
world with a premier application that they can utilize throughout
every phase of flight," said Carl
Wolf, Garmin vice president of aviation sales and marketing.
"As our global customer base continues to grow, we are excited to
further expand game-changing app capabilities, including wireless
connectivity with Jeppesen and other enhancements that provide
access to information for pilots to make the best informed
decisions on the ground and in-flight."
Jeppesen terminal charts can be viewed within Garmin Pilot from
the charts page and in split screen mode alongside the moving map.
Geo-referenced Jeppesen charts can also be overlaid on the moving
map for seamless navigation.
An electronic Jeppesen chart subscription for Garmin Pilot is
required to access Jeppesen terminal charts through the app.
