    Your setup is awesome. I use yours as inspiration to mine! Almost the same with very minor changes.

    Just curious about the Garmin G3X; does Garmin give you free software/firmware upgrades as they come out? How about aviation database upgrades-are they free?

    Not by a long shot Jim. About two months ago in previous threads I mentioned that I was shocked by the cost of the Garmin updates. I don't remember what the cost was now (probably a protective mechanism) but its hundreds of dollars. Far more than what others said they were paying for Dynon updates. In fact, we will see what Garmin does for us homebuilders who purchase equipment and don't get it powered up in time to take advantage of the first free update within 90 days of purchase. Looks like I may be paying hundreds just to get it current for the first flight. Actually I can't speak to the software upgrades, Im not sure on those.

    The software/firmware updates are free.

    Garmin does have an aviation database bundle price with a good savings over a-la-cart pricing.

    US Database Bundle $149.95

    Including Garmin Navigation, Obstacles, SafeTaxi, Airport Directory, FliteCharts, IFR/VFR Charts, and Terrain (9AS) databases.Save $770/year

    They also have a Mini bundle for basic VFR for $49.95 / year.

    Thx for laying the price out. I am pleased to find that those amounts are reasonable. I may have been adding up a la cart. I dont find Garmin websites all that clear to read.
