Features
- Garmin's aera 500’s chart-style mapping and extensive terrain and databases help you visualize your flight path in relation to nearby navaids, terrain, SUAs, obstructions, private airports, heliports and so on. Showing terrain/obstacle data at standard 30 arc-second resolution. The unit’s graphical Terrain page offers both overhead and vertical profile views of the topography. There’s an IFR map mode that lets you display and navigate on high or low enroute airways. GPS updating is provided at a super-fast 5 Hz rate. And for added safety, an optional power/data cable (sold separately) makes it easy to interface your Garmin aera 500 with the Garmin GTX 330 Mode S transponder, so you can access and display TIS traffic alerts in busy terminal airspace. Aera navigation continues with full automotive GPS capability and preloaded City Navigator® NT street mapping. Operating much like Garmin’s popular nüvi® line of touchscreen auto navigators, your Garmin aera 500 offers voice-guided turn-by-turn directions with text-to-speech audio technology that calls out streets by name. In addition, there’s built-in Bluetooth® support for wireless hands-free calling with your compatible mobile phone.
