Annunciator panel for the GPS with glass panel

[Yetti]

So do you need to Annunciator panel for the GPS when the glass panel shows the source?   VLOC vs. GPS   Seems like an interesting discussion when marrying 20 year old tech with new glass.

I guess it depends on what glass but I don't have a separate annunciator with my G500 TXi, all the annunciations are on the TXi.

It was a long time ago, but I think I read that it depends on where the gps is mounted.  As long as it’s not too far away from normal field of view, no annunciator is required.  In a Mooney it’s pretty hard to get that far away!

Ya I think it was measured in degrees off the line of site and things.

I think it looks like the G3X also meets this requirement.

I don't have annunicator panel with Dual G5's and GNC255 (nav/com) and GNC355 (GPS/com) and GAD29B. The G5 has it built in specifically for this setup or similar GTN setup.

I can toggle between VOR/LOC /ILS and  GPS  driving the CDI on G5 displays. it takes a few button pushes and knob rotation to do it though.

I should clarify the G5 has the annunicator on the display.

It's a kind of  pain but it works.
