Garmin is one of the leading suppliers of panel equipment in Light-Sport Aircraft. Virtually all LSA use Garmin at some level including radios and transponders and more. The company got a strong start in light aviation with the GPSmap series of 196-296-396-496 units. These have now been upgraded with the all new touch screen aera series, destined to set the new standard in portable GPS map units. For full panel mounts, Garmin offers the impressive G3X series.

Time for a new aera? -- The most feature-rich navigator in Garmin’s aera lineup, the 560 model combines a more advanced list of automotive and piloting capabilities. In all the aera models, GPS updating is provided at a super-fast 5 Hz rate. And you also get full support for the latest in XM WX™ satellite weather capabilities (with optional subscription).

Loaded for the Road as Well -- The segue from pilot to motorist is seamless when you go with the aera 560: Its “dual boot” design, supported by preloaded City Navigator® NT street mapping, converts to “road mode” in a virtual heartbeat. Operating much like Garmin’s popular nüvi® line of touchscreen auto navigators, the aera 560 offers voice-guided turn-by-turn directions with text-to-speech audio technology that calls out streets by name.

A Complete Silicon Suite -- Designed around the GDU 370/375 series of panel-mount displays, the G3X suite provides an easy-to-install, non-TSO’d option that lets you grow your system as your needs and budget dictate. For example, you can start with a single glass display that combines full primary flight (PFD) attitude/directional guidance with electronic engine monitoring and detailed moving-map multifunction (MFD) capabilities.
