GRT Announces Synthetic Vision for the HX Series
 

Well things are just getting interesting now. The new Grand Rapids Tech HX system has (or will have) Synthetic Vision apparently. The promo pics look pretty darn good. (Anybody want to buy my old GRT sport?:()

GRT has also updated their website. Under the products section they have included a "Pricing Wizard". I found it a lot less confusing than their old price page which to me was not very user friendly.

FYI, GRT has a Sun 'n Fun special going on for systems purchased during the show. The one of interest to me is a free GPS module on the Sport ($400). I think XM is free on the Horizon.

Grrr

Old? Too much change.

Am I the only one who sees "promo" and my brain says EFIS pr0n?

HX Screen shots
 

The New Horizon HX Synthetic vision has been big hit at the show.

We will get more information on our website when we get back.

I spent at least an hour talking with Sandy and Carlos at the GRT booth. I cannot say enough about how good it is to talk with people who are really wanting to help you out in making good decisions and purchases like they were doing with me today.

The synthetic vision looks incredible. The show specials on the sport are either the GPS or the ARINC-429. The Horizon is free WX weather. I have not made my decisions yet on how I am going to configure my EFIS panel yet but I have decided it is going to be the GRT for sure.

Having said that I have to admit the Dynon autopilot additon looks pretty awesome too. I don't think you could go wrong with that one either.

Well, anyway. It was good to talk with GRT in person. I gained a lot of helpful information.

i need a new keyboard now
 

this one has drool on it.

I was already planning to upgrade hs to hx when available.

I may have to wait for guys that are already flying to clear the queue first.

I had not been too impressed with GRT in the past because I had always thought their graphics looked like an old atari game. I know they have a loyal following and thought perhaps some of the functionality must have been there to make up for it.

Looking at the new screen shots all I can say is wow! Looks like they have leap frogged.

Nice work guys. Well done. A++ :D

Terrain data loads for OZ
 

I have a three screen Horizon 1 setup in my -10 and I'm just drooling over these HX displays.

Anyone know if the HX terrain data for Australia is as detailed as the USA?

cheers,
Ron
-10 almost there!

Non USA data
 

Along the same lines - can someone show me a flight plan for something like - NZQN - NZWF - NZCH - some serious hills around here. The difference in $$ is big, but is it worth it for us too?
