Hey G3X Guy
I like the fact that Garmin has filled the gap with G3X EFIS price, but one thing you guys don't have is a GPS/Comm like the 250XL or 300XL.
I have been looking for something like that and between $0 and $7000+ there is nothing that I can find new unless I have missed something. What's up with that??

Hello N38139,
How about a GPS400W for $3,995 (purchased with a G3X system) and a 10W GTR200 COM radio for $1,199?
Neither of the units you mention support flying WAAS approaches, but with the GPS400W you can fly all of the WAAS approaches including LNAV+V, LNAV/VNAV, and LPV with coupled lateral and vertical guidance.
Thanks,
Steve

Hey G3X Guy
Well your assumption is that everybody wants to fly IFR approaches or have an IFR equipped airplane. I fly IFR approaches for a living and when I fly my RV, that is the last thing I want to do. Soooooo why not have an inexpensive GPS/Com like you've done that with the G3X? The 300xl's and 250xl's sell like hot cakes when you can find a good one. What you suggested still takes up alot of panel space and don't you have to buy a G3X to get the good deal price on a 400W? I'm not complaining because I'll just find a 250xl but there is a VOID in the market you guys could cash in on.

If you don't need a certified box, the G3X has a smokin GPS built into each screen. Add the new GTR200 for $1200 and you have a lean mean VFR cruising machine!
I have a GTN650 but just for fun I used the G3X internal GPS all the way to and from Oshkosh. It works great!
I am not sure what advantage a 250 or 300XL would have over the G3X/GTR200 combo.

I'm not buying a G3X. I'm just saying, there are NO com/gps units under about 7K anymore, that was my only point to Garmin.
