Just got this email from Garmin. People here have already been talking about what would be in the new GTN 6xx/7xx software, so no big surprises. Highlights:
GTN 6xx/7xx
° Added support for visual approaches which include advisory vertical and horizontal guidance to most runways.
° Added support for forwarding GTX attitude through the Flight Stream 510 to portable devices.
° Added support for advisory vertical guidance on LNAV approaches in regions without SBAS coverage.
° Removed pop-up that impeded the creation of user waypoints defined by two radials.
° Changed datalink weather timestamps so that they will now collapse when all weather is current to declutter the display.
° Changed GSL altitude display to round to the nearest 10 feet and include the configured antenna offset.
° Added support for logging connections to the Flight Stream products connected to the GTN. The log can be sent to Garmin for analysis, when needed.
° Added height above terrain in MapMX and ARINC GAMA Formats 1-6.
FlightStream 510
° Fixed issue related to FIS-B weather data (Service Advisory 1684) from a GTX 345
° Added an attitude output from a GTX 345 when connected to a GTN
° Add a wireless connection log with a GTN
° Added expanded channel list with GDL 69 SXM software versions 5.10 or later
It looks like their solution to people having trouble with BlueTooth connections from iOS devices to both a FS 510 and the GTX 345 transponder is to let all the data, including AHRS, go through the FS 510.
Cheers, David
