VALUE KA ADDED
Connext text and voice control via mobile devices
With Flight Stream 510, customers can pair an Apple mobile device operating Garmin Pilot to the GTN to access text and voice services enabled by a GSR 56 datalink1. While in-flight and on the ground, pilots can quickly send and receive messages with a mobile device using a familiar conversation format and conveniently utilize the phone’s existing contact database. Similarly, customers can initiate phone calls on an Apple mobile device using Garmin Pilot, so it’s easier to complete phone calls over a headset while in flight. The GSR 56 also supports the display of weather on compatible avionics.
Additional features within the latest GTN software upgrade
Radios are available during power-up prior to engine start.
With the addition of the new flight track vector, pilots are provided more visual cues to help ensure flight plan tracking.
Pilots have the option to clear all stored flight plans and user-waypoints.
Hot spot descriptions are pilot-selectable on the SafeTaxi diagram.
These new features are available immediately from Garmin Authorized Dealers for hundreds of aircraft makes and models1. The GTN software upgrade is supported by Garmin’s award-winning aviation support team, which provides 24/7 worldwide technical and warranty support.
