Sure enough, I guess I didn't read the 400+ page manual closely enough. :p Ok, now I'mma happy camper. Thanks for that.

Wish list for VFR users outside the US
 
Two wishes:

1> Allow a GTR 200 B radio to be fully controlled from the G3X screen when an audio panel is not installed, which would allow it to control music, bluetooth connections, intercom settings, etc...

2> Enable the G3X system to update Metars and weather through an active internet connection via a mobile device running Garmin Pilot. This is specially useful for countries where FIS-B and Sirius coverage does not exist.

Thanks !

If you open up the configuration menu on the GDU, and select Engine & Airframe, then select a Fuel Input, there is a selection for Display Options. Change this to Separate and you should be able to display your fuel gauge as described.



Thanks,

Justin

It would be nice if you put the fuel remaining (from totalizer) after the “fuel qty” label. That would free up a data field for me to use for n something else.

I might be missing a setting, but on the map view it would be nice when layering the radar to be able to only have regional radar displayed (Like in the WX page) and not the combined radar which lots of times ends up looking like skittle vomit.

Thanks!

That option is definitely in there... was looking around the other day and I saw you can switch from combined to just regional.

Mute Alerts
 
As someone who flies into mountainous areas in the northeast as well as down the Hudson River corridor, it would be great to have a “Shut Up Betty” button where you can temporarily mute Terrain and Traffic alerts for a specified period of time, or until the next power reset WITHOUT having to disable the alerts.

Another request for the Temporary "Shut Up Betty" Button :D

And if you can just sell that button, sort of like the Easy Button that Staples sells, I would like to take a few of those and place them around some politicians :rolleyes:

It would be a great feature to have elevator trim adjusted automatically based on your flap settings. Garmin already has all the inputs from both flap and trim and it seems this would be not too complicated to set this up and it would be great feature.

It will already do that if the AP is on with autotrim installed, but it just uses altitude/attitude not flap setting to maintain 'trim'.
