We are pleased to announce that the free V4.40 software upgrade available now for the Aera 795/796 includes support for displaying attitude information provided over either a hardwire or Bluetooth link to the GDL 39 3D ADS-B traffic and weather receiver.
The already existing 3D Vision page will automatically begin showing attitude information, complete with a slip/skid ball, when it is connected to a GDL 39 3D with AHRS capability.
Another new feature provided with this software release is the ability to use "rubber band" editing of the flight plan on the map or sectional pages.
A user can now simply touch and drag a flight plan segment over a waypoint to add that waypoint to the flight plan.
When doing an airspace or weather diversion, you can even drag the flight plan line to a point where no waypoint exists, and the Aera will allow you to quickly create a new user waypoint at that point and insert it into the flight plan.
Customers can download this software now from the Garmin website using the WebUpdater or Garmin Express programs.
Thanks,
Steve
