Garmin GMX 200 for Pilots
Garmin unveiled its spanking new GMX 200, a multi-function display for pilots, boasting VGA resolution (640x480 pixels) and advanced backlighting to improve color and contrast. If you are a hobby flier, you will be able to appreciate the accurate chart depictions and vivid images in almost all conditions.
Lots of useful info like high-resolution terrain and hydrography data for the entire world is preloaded. To further improve the pilot's situational awareness, the Garmin Base Map with cities, roads, rivers, and lakes has been added to the GMX 200.
Combined with Garmin GDL 69, you can access the most advanced weather depictions via XM Satellite Radio. What's more, GMX 200 is available in three versions: Standard, Traffic and Radar/Traffic models. It is also compatible with several other Garmin products like Garmin 400/500 series, GNS 480, GWX 68, etc.
