Software Upgrades
Within the GTN 750 series touchscreen navigators, Garmin is pleased to announce many further technological advancements and new additional functionality. Pilots may now watch updated FIS-B weather products on the GTN using new software (version 6.62) and a compatible ADS-B “In” receiver. GTN software version 6.62 now includes all of these capabilities and more.
Pilots may now see the latest FIS-B weather products (where available) on the moving map alongside flight plan information and dedicated weather pages inside GTN 650/750 when linked with a suitable ADS-B “In” device such as GTX 345. Lightning, cloud tops, turbulence, ice (forecast potential), graphical AIRMETs (G-AIRMET), and center weather advisory (CWA) are among the new weather products. Garmin Pilot for Apple mobile devices and the aera 660 aviation portable are among the many Garmin products that already support these new weather products.
Software update Version 6.62 features:
Pilots who have SiriusXM Aviation Weather now have the option of switching between base reflectivity and composite reflectivity NEXRAD weather radar images.
Pilots flying LNAV approaches with the GTN 650/750 may now obtain advisory vertical guidance (LNAV+V) when flying into airports across the globe that are not supported by SBAS.
When datalink weather radar coverage is unavailable on the GTN 650/750, the “no coverage” region is now visible, allowing pilots to see airports, basemap data, and other information.
