Garmin Weather Radar Description

The Garmin GWX 68 and GWX 70 Airborne Color Weather Radars combine
excellent range and adjustable scanning profiles with a high-definition target
display.
To focus radar scanning on specific areas, Sector Scanning offers pilot-
adjustable horizontal scan angles of 20º, 40º, 60º, or 90º (up to 120º with the
GWX 70). A vertical scanning function helps to analyze storm tops, gradients,
and cell buildup activity at various altitudes.
Refer to the documentation of each radar for specific features.
