Latest FIS-B Weather Products and More Added to GTN 650/750 Series

We have incorporated new enhancements and features to our GTN 650/750 series touchscreen navigators. With the latest software update and a compatible ADS-B In receiver, pilots can now view new FIS-B weather products on the GTN. Also, when the GTN 650/750 is paired with a G3X Touch flight display in experimental/amateur-built aircraft, pilots now have the option to edit VFR flight plan information from the G3X Touch. These features and more are available immediately from Garmin Authorized Dealers for hundreds of aircraft makes and models.

New
FIS-B weather product support

When paired with a compatible ADS-B In product such as the
GTX 345 or GDL 88, pilots can now access the latest FIS-B weather products on
the moving map alongside flight plan information and dedicated weather pages
within GTN 650/750. These new weather products include lightning, cloud tops,
turbulence, icing (current and forecasted), graphical AIRMETs and center
weather advisories (CWA). This adds to the growing number of Garmin products
that already support these new weather products, including Garmin Pilot on
Apple mobile devices, G3X Touch and the aera 660 aviation portable. 

G3X
Touch flight plan editing

Pilots who have a GTN 650/750 installed alongside a G3X
Touch flight display in an experimental/amateur-built
aircraft now have additional flight planning and editing options. VFR flight
plans can now be completed on the G3X Touch display, and then automatically
synced to the GTN for added convenience when using either the G3X Touch or GTN.
 

Additional
features

• The
  GTN 650/750 now displays a selected altitude intercept arc on the moving map
  when it’s installed with a Garmin primary flight display (PFD) such as the G500
  TXi/G600 TXi, G500/G600 or G3X Touch. When pilots input a preselected
  altitude on the PFD, the selected altitude arc will populate on the map page to
  indicate where the aircraft will arrive at that particular altitude.
• For
  customers with SiriusXM Aviation Weather, pilots now have the option to alternate
  between base reflectivity and composite reflectivity NEXRAD weather radar
  imagery.
• Pilots
  operating into airports throughout the world that are not served by SBAS, can
  now receive advisory vertical guidance (LNAV+V) while flying LNAV approaches
  with the GTN 650/750.
• When
  SiriusXM aviation weather or FIS-B weather cannot be displayed on the GTN
  650/750, the “no coverage” area of weather is transparent so pilots can still
  view airports, basemap information and more.  
• Customers
  receive a VNAV aural alert for Top of Descent (TOD).
• Traffic
  and weather from a GNX 375 can now be displayed within the GTN 650/750.

The latest GTN software upgrade is available immediately from Garmin Authorized Dealers for hundreds of aircraft makes and models. This upgrade is available at no charge. A dealer installation charge may apply. Garmin avionics are supported by our award-winning aviation support team, which provides 24/7 worldwide technical and warranty support.
