EXTERNAL NAVIGATORS (OPTIONAL)

The G3X can also communicate with the following optional external navigators:
• SL30 Nav/Comm Transceiver
• SL40 Comm Transceiver
• GTR series Comm Transceiver
• GNC series 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 present
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.

When an external navigator that supports both GPS and VOR/ILS capabilities (i.e.,
GTN or GNS Series) is selected, the external navigator's CDI Key is used to switch the
G3X HSI between GPS and VOR/ILS navigation.
