SteinAir talks about a 'switch strip'. What is that.
Also I am new to glass panels. Why the Garmin GPS along with the two Dynon displays. Does the GArmin feed data to the displays? For some reason I thought the two Dynon displays were built with GPS. Please forgive my naivety.

The Garmin Navigators need to use their own GPS antenna/data. They will not accept that from another device.

Yes, the Garmin will feed gps data to the Dynon. The only reason to put in a much more expensive Garmin, instead of the Dynon, gps, is if you intend to fly IFR. The Dynon gps units are not TSO'd for ifr, the Garmin is.

Edit. Many panels have a row of switches along the bottom edge, a 'switch strip'.

Default 635 vs 650

Justin: Another 2c re the price difference. Until December 6, Garmin has a $500 rebate on the GTN650 (more on the 750).

Dennis,
The switch strip is the angle provided with the kit that attaches to the bottom of the panel and to the sides of the fuse. Usually the switches are located on that piece.
