Touchscreen GPS!
The Garmin aera 560 Touch-Screen GPS features a crisp 4.3” widescreen, detailed topography with built-in terrain and obstacles alerting, plus IFR map mode with airways, and is XM Weather-ready. In the car, the aera 560 offers the ease and simplicity of the Garmin nuvi® automotive navigators, including audio turn-by-turn directions.
Automotive
The most feature-rich navigator in Garmin’s aera lineup, the 560 model combines a more advanced list of automotive and piloting capabilities with higher-resolution 9 arc-second terrain/obstacle graphics that yield over 11 times more onscreen resolution than the standard 30 arc-second versions. As in all the aera models, GPS updating is provided at a super- fast 5 Hz rate.
Weather
And you also get full support for the latest in XM WX™ satellite weather capabilities. With coverage for the U.S. and Canada, the optional XM service lets you reference detailed NEXRAD imaging and METARs data, as well as current reports on precipitation, lightning, winds aloft, airport terminal forecasts, and more. Weather graphics can be overlaid on your aera’s moving-map display. And for added entertainment value, your XM receiver can also be used to access over 170 channels of digital audio entertainment (XM subscription required). The GXM 40 smart antenna is included with your aera 560. And a single integrated cabling solution for power, music and datalink weather options makes for easy, clutter-free aera connectivity in your cockpit.
And More . . .
The Garmin aera 560 comes preloaded with SafeTaxi®, AOPA airport directory, and high-resolution terrain. The aera 560’s auto capabilities include ‘lane assist’, speed limit notification, optional traffic alerts, and more.
The aera 560 also comes with One-Year free aviation database updates (an $800+ value).

Customer Reviews
- Most easy-to-use GPS on the market Review by Jeffree
-
The folks at Marv Golden suggested this GPS to me and I absolutely love it. It’s easy to use with the touch screen and it’s fast, plus the screen is extremely clear. The size is perfect- it’s not too big but still has a big enough size for situational awareness. It came with a case, yoke mount, lighter-style charger, and wall charger which was great (usually you have to buy most of these accessories separately). I find that I spend a lot more time flying and less time planning and mapping with the Garmin Aera! (Posted on 7/2/12)Quality
