The GTN 650 is $11,495 and the GTN 750 is $16,995. More than I have in my entire panel. Hopefully this brings the used prices on 430w down and I can get an IFR approved gps in my plane.

MSRP may be installed price. Sarasota avionics quotes the MSRP on the 430W as $11,295. If that's the case then it's not a significant price increase from what it's replacing.

Default Wow!

Pretty cool, but I don't have an extra $28k laying around.

$17k for the 750
$3k for the remote audio panel
$4K for the weather receiver
$4k for the transponder
(I'm sure there's probably more.....)

I think I'll wait until the price comes down.

Default 430 end of life?

Anyone heard of Garmin's plans for supporting the 430 series in the future? I'm sure End of Life is many years away, but the new products will surely start the countdown...

The new units look great. The first questions I'll have for the garmin guys is how to display and fly V airways like the 480 could. I bet the GTN will offer some pretty stunning new capabilities for programming, flying, and changing flight plans in all phases of flight. I love the 430w (and can't wait to use mine), but I speculate I'll have GTN envy when I see how the flight planning stuff works.

The GTN system looks very cool. I can already tell that I can't afford one.

Wonder if it plugs into a 430W slot, or do I have to re-wire my plane??

Nice bit'o'bling for the Cirrus / Bonanza / Acclaim drivers. Then again, the new ones will have a G1000. Maybe retrofit. The touch screen could prove to be a game changer if they got the human factors right (...if they figured out how to apply a touch screen in turbulence).

Some will put them in RV's, and I can see it making sense in some RV-10's. DR may have one in his six within a month, but don't know that Paul could fit one in the Val (how does one become a beta tester anyway?!?) That said, not interesting to me. The telling point in the Flash promo was when they were touting that you could save space compared to a 530, 430, audio panel, transponder stack. Let's just say that I don't have a problem with a 530/430 taking up space .

Cool stuff. I love to see advancement for GA, and each step takes us all forward.
