Split-Screen Vs. Full-Screen Configurations; External Navigators (Optional) - Garmin G3X Pilot's Manual

System Overview

SPLIT-SCREEN VS. FULL-SCREEN CONFIGURATIONS

Various combinations of split and full-screen configurations are available in systems
with 2 or more GDUs. For example, a system with 2 GDUs (MFD and PFD1) can be
configured to have a split-screen layout on PFD1, and a system with 3 GDUs (PFD1,
MFD, PFD2) can be configured to have full-screen MFD pages displayed on PFD2 if
desired.

EXTERNAL NAVIGATORS (OPTIONAL)

The G3X can also communicate with the following optional external navigators:
• SL30 Nav/Comm Transceiver
• GTN or GNS Series Units
USING THE G3X WITH AN EXTERNAL GPS NAVIGATOR
WARNING: Do not use the approach information provided by the VFR
navigation database residing within the G3X as a means of navigating any
instrument approach. The G3X VFR navigation database is limited to pres-
ent only the waypoints for the final approach leg of a published procedure.
These waypoints and associated course line are made available for monitoring
purposes only.
In a configuration which includes one or more external GPS navigators (i.e., GTN or
GNS Series), the G3X displays the selected external GPS Navigator's flight plan and
guidance information. When using an external GPS navigator with the G3X, press the
INTERNAL Softkey on the Active Flight Plan Page or Direct-To Page to make changes
to the active flight plan from the G3X. Press the EXTERNAL Softkey to return to the
external GPS navigator's flight plan. When an external navigator is configured the
internal GPS can still be used for VFR navigation.
NOTE: The G3X internal GPS flight plan is only for VFR use.
