The GPS 500 is for serious IFR pilots who want
big-picture situational awareness. With its FMS-like attributes,
the GPS 500 can simultaneously give aviators vital approach
information and weather and traffic data in relation to their
position on a large, color moving map display.
The GPS 500 vividly presents critical flight
data in a manner that pilots and aircraft owners have come to
expect in Garmin panel-mount avionics. 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 huge Jeppesen database (that can be updated with a front-loading
data card) contains all airports, VORs, NDBs, Intersections,
FSS, Approach, DPs/STARs and SUA information.
The GPS 500 is TSO C129a certified for GPS non-precision
approaches.
The GPS 500 has plenty of growth potential, as
there are upgrade paths for WAAS compatibility, TAWS, and Terrain
awareness. Pilots will enjoy the GPS 500 as an MFD, especially
when it is coupled with traffic, lightning detection, and weather
interfaces like Ryan TCAD, TIS from the Garmin GTX 330 Mode
S transponder, or Goodrich SKYWATCH™, STORMSCOPE® WX 500. For
the latest in graphical and textual weather information, the
GNS 530 can connect to XM Satellite Radio's XM WX Weather Service
via the GDL 69 datalink receiver. With the FDE prediction program,
the GNS 530 may be used for oceanic or remote operations.
