Guys,
I am new to Van's but not new to aviation and I am planning my Panel. (or more to the point my budget for the panel, I like to know what I am going to be spending before I start a project with all my cash in)
I have been comparing the G3x and the G900x by garmin and to be honest, other than screen realestate I don't really see any differences. The 900 has more coms integration but if you buy the G3x and a garmin radio stack then thats integrated anyway.
It looks like the G3x, when purchased with a whole bunch of other equipment that is compatable with it basically acts like a G900x anyway.
I spoke to the guys at Garmin here in Australia (or their reps here in Australia, Peter Lapthorne over at Avionics 2000 in Essondon Airport Melb, for all the Ozzies here) He is pushed to find the difference between them other than screen size.
Personally screen size does make a difference, if not TVs would have stayed small, its easier to see I feel, but the G3x has all the unit broken up into different hardware items and that offers diverse points of failure.
Has anyone faced this purchase before?
