ADDITIONAL FEATURES (OPTIONAL)

NOTE: The availability of SafeTaxi, ChartView, or FliteCharts in electronic
form may not preclude the requirement to carry paper charts aboard the
aircraft. See the AFMS for more information.
NOTE: ChartView is an optional feature that requires enablement by a
Garmin dealer.
Additional features of the GDU 620 include the following:
• ChartView and FliteCharts
• SafeTaxi ® diagrams
• Sirius XM Satellite Radio entertainment
• XM WX Satellite Weather (covered in Section 4.7)
• Traffic (covered in Sections 4.5 and 4.6)
• Garmin Synthetic Vision Technology (SVT™)
The optional ChartView and FliteCharts provide on-board electronic terminal
procedures charts. Electronic charts offer the convenience of rapid access to
essential information. Either ChartView or FliteCharts may be configured in the
system.
SafeTaxi diagrams provide detailed taxiway, runway, and ramp information
at more than 700 airports in the United States. By decreasing the range on an
airport that has a SafeTaxi diagram available, a close up view of the airport layout
can be seen.
The optional Sirius XM Satellite Radio entertainment audio feature of the
GDL 69A Data Link Receiver handles more than 170 channels of music, news,
and sports. Sirius XM Satellite Radio offers more entertainment choices and
longer range coverage than commercial broadcast stations.
XM WX Satellite Weather is an optional service that provides the ability to
display graphic weather data overlaid on the MFD Nav Map and Weather Data
Link pages.
The Traffic Map Page shows surrounding TAS or TIS traffic data in relation to
the aircraft' s current position and altitude. The Traffic option is designed to assist
in detection and avoidance of other aircraft.
