Garmin has announced what it calls the ‘next generation of all-one-one ADS-B transponders. The GTX 345 and GTX 335 “provide a simple upgrade path for thousands of aircraft worldwide,” said Garmin.
The ‘all-in-one’ part is because the the GTX 345 and GTX 335 include Extended Squitter (ES) ADS-B Out with options for built-in WAAS, as well as dual-link ADS-B In. They integrate with a wide variety of current and legacy Garmin displays, including select G1000 flightdecks and GTN 650/750 touchscreen navigators.
“Regardless of the existing avionics configuration, the GTX 345 unlocks more capabilities for pilots by displaying ADS-B traffic, subscription-free weather, GPS position data and back-up attitude information on the popular Garmin Pilot and ForeFlight Mobile apps via Bluetooth and Connext wireless technology,” continued Garmin. Prices start at $2,995.
