Just out of curiosity--I've seen this quote in a few places about this update:

Includes GTR20/200 software version 2.80
|
Will GTR200 v2.80 be available as a standalone update? I haven't seen it appear on this page yet.
Thanks!

Twin Gauges !!!
Wow, seems like Garmin put a lot of work in to this. I know a lot people in the Certified world that would kill to have an EFIS like that in their twin. I know I would have loved to have something this slick in my 310 before I got in to the RV world. With that said, why would a company like Garmin put so much resources to release a new feature like this to the Experimental market when there so few experimental twins? Hmmmm, makes you think there are some interesting things coming :-)

There's surprisingly more twin Experimental's being built than most would guess. Lockwood AirCam's have been getting completed at a good clip lately, as have the Twin Velocity aircraft....and there are a couple neat birds on the drawing board out there (not saying one of "our" metal birds though) which may nicely utilize this function. The round engine crowd has also been screaming for this for awhile now too...and lastly, there have been a few Reno Racers and other "V-12" powered aircraft which I happen to know will also welcome some of this additional functionality. Well our RV world is a great place, there is a lot going on outside of it as well!
Cheers,
Stein

Hello lrgabriel,
Software version 2.80 for the GTR 20/200 is now available on our website. However, anyone with version 2.70 should have no need to update, as this version contains only factory-related changes that do not impact anything related to using the radio.

Hello Danny,
We continue to release free updates for the GDU 37x displays, and the current software for the GDU 37x (version 11.20) does include many of the same improvements as the GDU 4xx software update discussed here. However, at this time we don't believe it would be feasible to add the airspace labeling feature or multi-engine support to the GDU 37x.

I can sure understand not adding the multi engine support as all G3X Classic installations are single engine. I am very dissapointed in the airspace labling not being added. I was wondering when we would become orphans. Guess we know now.

What would be great would be a class or seminar on how to use the system.

Brian usually gives some good seminars for using the G3X Touch at fly-ins. I learned a lot of tips at his Oshkosh forum, and I'm sure he will do the same thing at Sun 'n Fun and Sebring.

Kind of disappointing. A week after spending 18 months removing an unnamed company intigrated display system the G3X touch was introduced. Wasn't about to go through all that again.......progress???

Guys,
Older hardware has limits..... It is inevitable. My original IPad is a paper weight. Still turns on but can't run any new programs....
It happens with all the manufacturers of electronic devices.
