- Garmin's new GTN navigators have some cool features like touchscreen control, voice recognition, and remote transponder and audio panel control. AVweb's Paul Bertorelli flew with Garmin engineer Grant Wittenborn to wring out the new products.

Looks pretty simple to use.. Great technology!
SWEET!
But I'm skeptic about touch screens without tactile response. It's nice being able to use the 430 dials without looking.
Amazing how aviation GPSs are so much behind and didn't have a touch screen model until now. Even my phone feels much more advanced
If I ever make enough money to afford my own plane ... this will definitley buy this navigator as well! ... I
The GTN 650 is expected to be available at a suggested retail price of $11,495 and the GTN 750 is expected to be available at a suggested retail price of $16,995. The GMA 35 remote audio processor is expected to be available at a suggested retail price of $2,995. sources - cnbc
Nice to have things integrated but when you want to keep navigating and must adjust the audio panel or whatever? I would opt for not having too much stuff integrated in one point of failure... safety first..
These look like such a step up from the older models. Thanks for the videos!
Does the 650 support the directly-draggable flight plan legs?
I wonder about having the Ident that close to where you have to touch to set the transponder frequency. I would bet that it'll get pressed by accident more than a few times.
I notice that on the 650, you don't see your Com and Nav frequencies at the same time.
If you don't use the remote transponder, I guess that space is just empty?
Wow - that's a fantastic system. I love it. Too bad the prices for these things are so high. Wonder when we'll see this tech added to the G1000
That looks great. Wouldn't it be great if they came out with an Ipad instructional program to get pilots familiar with the system.
badass!
@dboy4ever While I agree that car GPS and the one in your cell phone are full featured and handy; they don't need to undergo the same conditions or meet the same high criteria that an aviation GPS system does. I flew a Cessna 172 for many years with an integrated G1000 system with dual displays. There are many features built in with the software that may not be apparent from the get go. Also, in terms of new features, aviation companies tend to be more conservative than consumer ones.
i want to see this on a Diamond DA20 with G500, will be great!!
Overall pretty nice, but needs to be much snappier and quick in response time. In other words, it needs to move quick like an iPhone/iPad.
@dboy4ever Your phone is a DO-178B certified system.
@cabdolla Sorry, is *not a DO..."
@Mav1843 Please enlighten me - I'm not being sarcastic. I'd like to know what "best technology" the GA GPS has that the others don't. WAAS capability, which seems a big deal in GA, is pretty common in other GPS's. WX, flight planning, and collision avoidance - My phone gets and sends all sorts of data, too. Destination and distance calculation? The GPS just draws a straight line, whereas a car GPS can calculate the best route. The GA GPSs seem pretty overpriced, too...
Nice, but wouldn't Xavion on an iPad and let me change my own radio frequencies be THOUSANDS cheaper and get the almost same result except for any AP links, of course. ???
@dboy4ever ummm...General Aviation GPS systems are among some of the best technology that the world has to offer today. Touch Screens are a touchy subject for airplanes because of turbulence and such. Your phone has no where near the technology that the GPS has.
It even has music? REALLY!
It's glossy... slight mistake there fir a GA cockpit
Looks like Garmin is copying the ipod interface , which is not a bad thing
@abramfamily About $11,000 to $12,000
