Entry-level two-inch WAAS GPS navigators also
offer wireless connectivity and more
Garmin International, Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd.
(NASDAQ: GRMN), today announced the GPS 175 and GNX™ 375 GPS
navigators with Localizer Performance with Vertical guidance (LPV)
approach capability. Pilots receive the benefits of high-integrity
WAAS/SBAS GPS guidance in a compact, (6.25-inches wide by 2-inches
tall) design that is both cost-effective and easy to incorporate
into an existing avionics stack. The GPS 175 is a standalone
certified IFR navigator with a vibrant, color touchscreen display
packed with advanced features and capabilities including WAAS/LPV
approaches. The GNX 375 has all of the capability of the GPS 175
and adds Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) Out, as
well as dual-link ADS-B In via a built-in transponder. Intended for
Class I/II aircraft that weigh 6,000 lbs./2,721 kg. or less, as
well as experimental/amateur-built (EAB) aircraft, the
GPS 175/GNX 375 have received Supplemental Type
Certification (STC) and are available immediately from Garmin
Authorized Dealers for over 700 aircraft makes/models.

“Many aircraft have not been equipped with WAAS/LPV or ADS-B due
to the lack of a compelling value proposition for owners of these
aircraft,” said Carl Wolf, vice president of aviation sales and
marketing. “The GPS 175 and GNX 375 offer WAAS/LPV approaches and
optional ADS-B In/Out with an impressive array of features,
performance, and compelling value.”
Slim and unobtrusive, the GPS 175/GNX 375 include a WAAS/SBAS
GPS that is IFR approach-capable. A vibrant, colorful touchscreen
display boasts a familiar Garmin user experience that enables quick
and intuitive entry of flight plan information, while a dual
concentric knob and dedicated home button offer added versatility
when interfacing with the touchscreen. Dedicated pages within the
GPS 175 include a moving map, flight plan, nearest,
procedures, waypoint information and terrain pages, and the GNX 375
adds traffic and weather pages. The addition of a dedicated
direct-to button on the touchscreen offers quick access to direct
airport or waypoint navigation. Customizable data fields and short
cuts on the moving map to pilot-selectable pages such as the
nearest airport allow for quick, one-touch access to important
information in-flight.
Fully WAAS IFR-approach-capable, the GPS 175/GNX 375 give pilots
the benefit of flying LPV, Lateral Performance (LP), as well as all
Area Navigation (RNAV) approaches. Many approaches offer vertical
approach guidance as low as 200-feet above ground level (AGL).
Pilots can also leverage the touchscreen and moving map to easily
generate customized holding patterns over an existing fix in the
navigation database or a user-defined waypoint and easily insert it
into a flight plan. Visual approaches are also available within the
GPS 175/GNX 375 and provide lateral and vertical approach
guidance in visual flight conditions. Visual approaches offer added
assurance at unfamiliar airports or in challenging environments to
ensure the aircraft is aligned properly with the correct runway,
while also taking into consideration terrain and obstacle
avoidance.
Designed to replace earlier-generation products such as the
iconic GPS 150/155 series, the GX 50/55, as well as the
KLN 89/90/94 series, aircraft owners won’t have to make significant
panel modifications to accommodate the GPS 175/GNX 375. Aircraft
owners can also retain many of their existing flight instruments,
audio panels and many legacy CDI/EHSI indicators such as the KI
209, or easily pair it with a new or existing flight display like
the G5 electronic flight instrument. Additional interface options
include the G3X Touch™ flight display for experimental and
certificated aircraft, the GFC 500 and GFC 600 autopilots, as
well as select third-party autopilots. Additionally, precise course
deviation and roll steering outputs can be coupled to the GFC
500/GFC 600 autopilots and select third-party autopilots so
procedures such as holds, radius-to-fix (RF) legs and missed
approaches may be flown automatically.
Built-in Connext® cockpit connectivity gives pilots the benefits
and efficiencies of a wireless cockpit, enabling wireless flight
plan transfer via Bluetooth® to and from compatible portables and
mobile devices running the Garmin Pilot™ and FltPlan Go
applications. GPS position information and back-up attitude can
also be used by compatible products. Because the GNX 375 has an
integrated ADS-B transponder and dual link ADS-B In, pilots can
also view ADS-B traffic and weather on compatible mobile devices
and portables. Offering a faster, more intuitive method of judging
target trajectories and closure rates, ADS-B enabled TargetTrend™
aids in the identification of real traffic threats, while
TerminalTraffic™ displays a comprehensive picture of ADS-B-equipped
aircraft and ground vehicles. Patented TargetTrend and
TerminalTraffic are exclusively available within Garmin products,
including the Garmin Pilot app. For customers that already equipped
for ADS-B, the GTX™ 345 or GDL® 88 can interface to the GPS
175 to display ADS-B In. Additional wireless benefits include
Database Concierge, which is available as an option by pairing the
Flight Stream 510 with these navigators.
The GPS 175/GNX 375 offer unique benefits that only a
touchscreen can provide, such as graphical flight plan editing,
allowing pilots to more easily edit their flight plan based on an
ATC amendment or weather. Features such as FastFind simplifies
flight plan entry by applying predictive logic to suggest airports
and waypoints using current GPS location, while Smart Airspace
makes it easier to identify pertinent airspace on the moving map.
The addition of SafeTaxi® airport diagrams display runways,
taxiways, Fixed Based Operators (FBO’s), hangars and more relative
to the aircraft’s location on the airport surface.
The GPS 175 and GNX 375 are expected to be available in April
and are approved for installation in over 700 Class I/II piston
aircraft models that weigh 6,000 lbs./2,721 kg. or less and can be
purchased through the Garmin Authorized Dealer network starting at
a suggested list price of $4,995 and $7,995 respectively1. A free
Garmin GPS 175/GNX 375 trainer app is also available for
download on Apple mobile devices, which allows customers to
experience the feature set of these navigators. The
GPS 175/GNX 375 are also supported by Garmin’s
award-winning aviation support team, which provides 24/7 worldwide
technical and warranty support. For additional information, visit
