Garmin have launched 2 new GPS/Nav/Comm products. Both
offer intuitive menu driven touch screen control, high
resolution terrain mapping and faster processing / redraw
capabilities than the equivalent GNS430 / 530 units.
The GTN650 is a GNS430 sized unit but offers a larger 4.9 inch
diagonal TFT display. Most functions are available via no more than
2 taps of the screen while the edges of the unit provide space to
grip the unit to steady your hand during use in turbulent
conditions.
The GTN750 is a similar size to a GNS530 and audio panel
combined, with a 6.9 inch diagonal TFT screen. This unit includes
the ability to control a remote audio panel via its touch screen
interface, allowing for aircraft with limited panel space to
integrate a large screen MFD into the panel.

ETSO approval is expected within a few weeks. Lees
