Model Descriptions

This guide covers the operation of the GTN 725 and 750. In general, all
models will be referred to as the GTN 7XX, except where there are physical or
operational differences. The GTN units are 6.25 inches wide and 6 inches high.
The display is a 708 by 600 pixel, 6.9 inch diagonal color LCD with touchscreen
controls. The units include one removable SD data card for the databases and
software upgrades.
The GTN 7XX simplifies your workload with an easy-to-use touch panel that
provides a visual display of both controls and functions. The required controls
are displayed for the selected function. Keys on the display allow you to access
and control their functions by a simple touch on the interactive display.
The GTN 7XX can integrate a variety of avionics that will not only simplify
operation, but also save panel space. The GTN 725 and 750 have their own
GPS/SBAS navigator and flight planning functions. The GTN 750 adds VHF
Com and VHF Nav radios. Selected optional external equipment allows you
to display and control active traffic systems, XM Entertainment Radio, XM
Weather, audio panel, and a Mode S transponder directly from the GTN 7XX
display, and more. When the optional audio panel and/or transponder are not
installed, the area on the upper portion of the display is used for configurable
navigation information.

GTN 725

The GTN 725 has a GPS/SBAS engine and is TSO C146c certified for
primary domestic, oceanic, and remote navigation including en route, terminal,
and non-precision approaches, and approaches with vertical guidance, such
as LPV and LNAV/VNAV. The GTN 725 can simultaneously give aviators vital
approach information and weather and traffic data in relation to their position
on a large, color moving map display. Thanks to a high-contrast color display,
the information can be easily read from wide viewing angles even in direct
sunlight. Its color moving map features a built-in database that shows cities,
highways, railroads, rivers, lakes, coastlines, and a complete Jeppesen database.
The Jeppesen database (that can be updated with a front-loading data card)
contains all airports, VORs, NDBs, Intersections, FSSs, Approaches, DPs/STARs,
and SUA information.
