Garmin G3X Touch Feature Wish List

I'm a hardwire type of guy, but I do need to try this. I should have one bluetooth port available on the GDL39 when nobody's riding in the back and wants to pay attention (the other goes to my iPhone.)

Hello Charley,

Yes, that should work fine to hardwire your GDL39R to the PFD and BT to the MFD.

You are also correct about the newer transponders. The GTX 45R/345R/345 transponders have hardwire interfaces to provide ADS-B traffic/weather for up to 3 G3X Touch displays and a GTN at the same time. In addition to that, they also have a wireless interface available for portable devices.

Thanks,
Steve

since someone has now done all the research, is this anywhere on the roadmap for garmin?

Flap bias for the AoA calibration/display, would be nice to have a range of AoA for the travel of the flaps, and the Garmin should have a flap sensor with the engine module

Steve,

If I opt for the panel mount GTR 200 (built in 2 place audio) and then a second remote comm GTR 20......will I be able to toggle back and forth on the g3x screen between Comm1 and Comm2? Or would I require one of the audio panels (GMA 240/245/245R) to acconplish this?

Thanks,

Ed

Hello Ed,

If you wish to switch radios using the MIC 1/2 buttons at the top of the display, you would need to use either the GMA 245 or GMA 245R audio panel.





Thanks,
Steve

I'd sure like to have a remote Nav/Comm radio. Any chance of that happening?

Edit: Just to clarify - a 2nd Nav/Comm to supplement the GTN650.

Here's an easy win for Garmin, add a vibration sensor to your engine monitor package, Insight is now doing this

In regards to the vibration graph, the vertical axis represents the amount of vibration energy and the horizontal axis represents the frequency spectrum expressed as multiples of crankshaft rpm. When the engine is running, the screen will come alive with a waveform that represents the engine motion, presented in a spectral format with the crankshaft energies appearing at the 1x mark on the bottom scale. Propeller vibration will likewise be synchronous with the crankshaft vibration. Other sources of vibration will tend to produce energies at other frequencies.
For example, camshaft vibration tends to accumulate at the .5x mark, since the cam turns at 1/2 the rate of the crankshaft. Magneto vibration will appear at 1.5x mark in a 6-cylinder engine. Alternator vibration may appear somewhere around 3x or 4x, depending on the ratio it is driven at.

wouldn't the GTR20 solve your needs? or are you intending to invest further into the VOR navigation?

[ERushing]

I'm intending to invest further in ILS approaches. In my area there are a few Localizer or ILS approaches that either get you lower or are a lot more straightforward than their GPS counterparts.

Add to the wish list - an input in configuration mode for the demonstrated max cross wind component that shows up in yellow/red by the wind panel in the bottom right hand corner of the screen when you are getting close.

I love the system so far in my RV-12. It's amazing.

Wish list: add an aural "altitude" call out after the GP is captured on a precision approach to remind you to set the missed altitude. Saw this on a Cirrus G1000 and thought it was a great idea.
