For the ultimate in situational awareness, the GMX 200™ multi-function display leads the pack with a viewing area almost 20 percent larger than other panel-mounted MFDs and several interface options, now including FliteCharts and Safe Taxi. GMX 200 is available in four versions for even more choices in the cockpit: Standard, Traffic, Radar/TAWS and Radar/Traffic.
You'll always get the big picture with GMX 200's sunlight-readable, high-resolution, 640 x 480 display. In addition to its 6.5 inch AMLCD display, it comes with enhanced backlighting that dramatically improves color and contrast, making chart depictions and images easier to read in all lighting conditions.
GMX 200 is easy-to-use with multiple functions and useful features that make navigation simple:
The GMX 200 includes high resolution terrain and hydrography data for the entire world which is preloaded for an unmatched presentation even at the lower zoom scales. The basemap with cities, roads, rivers, and lakes has been added to further improve situational awareness. An aviation database featuring Jeppesen® NavData™ is used to draw airports, airways, navaids, airspace and more. Map scales range from one-fourth of a mile to a whopping 2500 miles. A unique split screen function allows you to simultaneously view two charting options along with the vertical profile for the elevation of the terrain along the route of flight.
The optional ChartView feature can be added to further enhance situational awareness in the airport and terminal areas. Surface diagrams are automatically displayed on departure and arrival to assist with taxiing unfamiliar airports or in conditions of poor visibility. Your aircraft's position can also be overlaid on the electronic approach chart to provide a visual crosscheck while helping to reduce pilot workload. All of the ChartView plates are seamlessly stitched into the custom mapping options.
With the addition of FliteCharts, an electronic version of the National Aeronautical Chart Office (NACO) U.S. Terminal Procedures Publication. FliteCharts lets pilots quickly find and view all NACO Departure Procedures (DP), Standard Terminal Arrival Routes (STARs), approach charts, and airport diagrams on the MFD. GMIX 200’s equipped with FliteCharts will have access to all U.S. approach plates currently published by NACO, which includes 14,000 approach plates at over 2,900 airports. FliteChart are not geo-referenced and updates are offered every 28-days from www.garmin.com.
With SafeTaxi, GMX 200 owners will navigate unfamiliar airports with confidence. SafeTaxi displays runways, taxiways, intersections, airport Hot Spots, FBOs, and hangars while simultaneously depicting the aircraft’s exact location and movement on the field. SafeTaxi currently includes over 850 U.S. airport diagrams and seamlessly integrates with the GMX 200’s existing basemap. Updates for SafeTaxi are available every 56 days from www.garmin.com.
With the addition of the GDL 69, you can add XM WX Satellite Weather information to the GMX 200. Graphical weather depictions including NEXRAD, METARs, TAFs, TFRs, winds aloft, echo tops, precipitation type at the surface, lightning strikes, storm-cell data, AIRMETs and SIGMETs can be received and displayed regardless of altitude. Combine animated NEXRAD images with the maximum zoom range of 2500nm and a nationwide view of the weather is presented on one screen. The GMX 200 also provides a user interface for the more than 150 channels of XM audio with the GDL 69A.
