Garmin GTN 6.62 software upgrade & FS510 2.51
kortopates posted a topic in Avionics/Panel Discussion
Garmin is releasing new GTN and FS510 updates. Primarily, the update adds support for new ADS-B weather products as well as XM Nexrad (support for toggling between composite reflectivity and base reflectivity nexrad). They also added FS510 support to work with the new smaller GPS 175 and GNX 375. Other details in their documentation, see the attached brochure for more detailed info.

I have been watching some videos on YouTube and Vimeo showing the Garmin 750/650 navigators in flight. I started noticing that some of these videos contained full cockpit audio and I started hearing annunications concerning terrain and other things like traffic. Even when I am playing around with the GTN trainer, I am getting annunications (see the pictures below). For those of you with the GTN series, are there annunications coming out of your units and being fed either into the audio panel or the overhead speaker? If so, what are you hearing? -
New GTN650, which includes the installation tray, factory wire harness, but no antenna. Unfortunately, due to a family issue, I won't be installing this unit at this time. Everything is new in the box. The USA base maps and initial update certificate are included. Message me if interested. I have ~$9000 invested.

Well, as some of you may know, I'm trying to finalize my decision on some panel modernization. One thing that I have to come to realize so far in my instrument training: No DME, an Inop ADF and a marginally functional GS is not comforting for me to be hitting the conditions I plan to fly in. The comfort level goes even further down when I think about having my wife and daughter flying with me in those same conditions. For what it's worth, I think I have settled in on the Garmin 650 for my GPS, keeping one of my Mac1700s and the CDI it feeds. I initially planned on putting in a EI MVP50, but after looking at my expenditures a little closer, I'm entertaining a Aspen PFD 1000 Pro now and then coming back for the 1000 MFD and the MVP 50 next year. (Giving me a Evolution 2000 system and being able to remove the original gauges and when all is said and done.) The question I have for you ladies and gentleman is whether I would still need a GI106A/ MD200-306 if I have the aspen, or if it can act as the CDI for my 650. I'm new to this, so I apologize if this is a simple question. Any other advice you may have is also greatly appreciated, and definitely will be considered. Warmest Regards, Abe L. Harper, Jr.
