Providing an affordable non-TSO’d
“glass cockpit” option for retrofit installation in light sport (LSA)
and experimental/kitbuilt aircraft, the GDU 370 is a real
breakthrough in panel-mount GPS navigation.
Fly with realistic moving-map graphics
With its flexible architecture and multifunction display (MFD)
capabilities, the GDU 370 enhances pilot situational awareness with
realistic moving-map graphics and database-driven terrain and
obstacle alerting. The integrated display unit mounts flush in the
panel and features a crisp 7-inch high-definition WVGA flatscreen
with dual redundant power inputs and a built-in 12-channel
high-sensitivity GPS receiver.
Operation is simple: There’s a handy rotary joystick cursor control
for data entry, soft keys for mode selection, front-loading SD card
slot for expansion memory and updates, plus an easy-to-navigate
G1000-like graphical user interface.
See your way clear of obstacles
Offering fast graphical rendering of map detail with database-driven
terrain and U.S. obstacle alerting, the GDU 370 shows your
aircraft’s position in relation to ground features, chart data,
navaids, flight plan routings, and more. The color-keyed terrain
page offers both overhead and vertical profile views of potentially
hazardous terrain along your route of flight. What’s more, by adding
a Garmin GTX 330 Mode S transponder, your MFD can also display
Traffic Information Service (TIS) alerts to help identify other
aircraft in proximity to your position.
Electronic charts help streamline navigation
In addition to its high-resolution terrain map, similar in
appearance to a VFR sectional chart, the GDU 370 comes with Garmin
FliteCharts®¹ and SafeTaxi® pre-installed. The FliteCharts offer
NACO-format IFR approach plates and terminal procedures for airports
throughout the U.S. SafeTaxi gives you detailed taxiway diagrams and
position information for over 850 U.S. airports. And there’s also
AOPA Airport Directory data that offers detailed information on over
7,400 U.S. airports, along with airports of entry for Canada, Mexico
and the Caribbean.
There’s more to come
Future enhancements to the GDU 370 will enable it to accommodate not
only MFD capability, but flight and engine instruments as well.
Primary Flight Display (PFD) attitude/directional guidance with
ADHRS+Engine monitoring will be available in the second half of
2009. And up to three interlinked displays will be supported in a
full Garmin G3X retrofit suite, with reversionary capability for
added safety.
