Adds Charts For 13 Countries Now Available For Download
Garmin has expanded global aviation chart coverage with the latest release of European terminal charts, including instrument approach charts, SIDs, STARs, and airport diagrams. These charts are the most recent addition to the growing list of worldwide aviation charting products available from Garmin, which are compatible with select Garmin avionics and portables. Charts such as ground movement charts and airport diagrams are also available as part of the European FliteCharts database.
European FliteCharts provide enhanced situational awareness when used with Garmin products because they offer pilots geo-referencing capabilities for many approaches. This feature conveniently overlays the aircraft position onto the chart so pilots can easily identify their progress in-flight as they fly an approach.
European FliteCharts now include the following additional countries in the latest release:
- Czech Republic
- Denmark
- Finland
- Hungary
- Ireland
- Norway
- Poland
- Portugal
- Romania
- Spain
- Sweden
- Turkey
- Ukraine
Pilots may download European FliteCharts from flyGarmin.com without the need for additional software updates to their Garmin products. The latest European FliteCharts update is compatible with Garmin portables capable of displaying terminal charts, including the GPSMAP 695/696, and aera 795/796. Compatibility is offered for the G3X, G3X Touch and select certified avionics, including the GTN series, G500, G600, G1000, G2000, G3000, and G5000. Additionally, Garmin Pilot also offers worldwide coverage including European FliteCharts for iOS mobile devices. Visit the Apple App store to download Garmin Pilot.
Garmin says it has also made coverage information easier than ever to understand. Pilots may access the FliteCharts Lookup tool on flyGarmin to easily identify which approaches are included within the latest European FliteCharts database.
European FliteCharts are available today starting at $124.95 as a single purchase or as part of a Bundle or PilotPak database subscription.
