Default Garmin G3X Touch Software V3.80 available
A new software V3.80 for the G3X Touch is available.
I?m wondering why Garmin did not mention that update here on VAF?

Has anyone had issues with this upgrade?

I just went and installed mine on my dual screen G3X Touch system, and it basically bricked my primary screen.

It will boot, and work for 5-20 seconds then lock up and reboot

Any thoughts?

-Dan

I was going to install tomorrow - think I'll hold off until I hear more about this issue.

Anyone know if the new firmware will allow you to enter current aircraft hours to then be able to use the G3X to track aircraft total time?

I installed 3.80 Saturday and flew the "distillery" trip the same day.

I have a single screen G3X Touch GDU460, GSU25, GMC305, GAD29, GTR20, GDL39, and GSA28 servos. no engine monitor so I can not talk to those settings.
