Flew training and IPC with a 375, using steam gauges...
A. the menu architecture is much superior to the 430: you can generally get to where you need to be within 3 actions. Not quite as clean as the G2000 [I haven't flown a 1000, but understand the intent was to make the architecture same-as-dat].
B. If i installed one, I would fashion some hand rest: the touch-screen function is great, but not-so-much if your fingers are fat, or any turbulence. Too easy to hit the wrong 'button' area on the screen.
C. I was also using FlyQ on my IPad, which made the size of the 375 irrelevant....

I’m really wondering if the 175 is going to be worth it for me…seems I can put a 760 in / on the panel and that it can be used for IFR enroute navigation. I can then just use my king radios to run the CDI. What am I missing with this assessment?

The Aera 760 is not legal for IFR navigation.

It seems like many of you are only using the 175 to drive something else like an efis or an iPad. Is it really only useful to provide the gps approaches and to drive another display? BTw, how does it run those gps approaches…does it drive the legacy CDI needles?
I believe it should be able to drive a CDI. I'm basing this belief mainly on there being pinouts on the connector for a CDI.
If I really need to add another screen to support the 175 visually then perhaps I should be looking for a different solution.
I’m trying not to over do it…without getting a used and unsupported 430 what other options do I have for an in-panel, IFR gps that is at least legal for enroute navigation?

Does anyone know a setting on the 175 that will effectively allow it to automatically keep synced with the bluetooth connected Garmin Pilot app on an ipad?
Right now any flight plan changes I make on the ipad have to be sent to the 175 by pressing a prompt on Garmin Pilot (ipad), then I have to acknowledge a message on the 175 showing receipt of the new Flight Plan from iPad, and then accept the change.
I would really like the 175 to automatically accept route changes made on Garmin Pilot with minimal to no effort.
The idea is to have my seat in full recline mode, with cool drink in hand, and work navigation solely with iPad and no contact with the 175 box.
Just in process of installing this. Does the configuration module need to stay plugged in or can you remove it after you configure the g175?
If you do keep it attached, where do you put it, attach it, or do you just leave it hanging off the back wire harness/tape it?
I have no doubt that's true! I'm starting to think that soon, older aviators will be marked by their ability to speak 430/530. Those gadgets were a huge advance, and I'm not selling mine, but the user interface is getting really dated.
Hopefully I can pair it with the new Trig TX56 NAV/Comm.
You mean the little one with the tiny wires? It stays attached. There's a spot in the connector backshell to tuck it in so it stays in place.
A used, but supported GNS 430W is one option.

In addition I discovered when flying to a friends private airport (53OK) that the navigation database in the 375 did not have this airport in its database but it was in the navigation database on the Aera 760 (and the prior 796).
