Lucy’s Logbook: Flying Magazine Highlights Top 50 Navigation Innovations
Remember the first handheld aviation GPS units? We all remember the first handheld we used and valued its weight in gold in our airplanes. Over the last 14 years, Garmin has taken a basic GPS with a black and white moving map page, and transformed it into a GPS that doubles as an Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) displaying approach charts and in some cases, live weather and music!
Flying put the introduction of AHRS/ADAHRS as #5 on its list. This innovation has unquestionably transformed cockpit avionics, and is a core technology of Garmin's integrated flight decks. Glass panel displays such as the G1000 have quickly become the standard in the industry, adding safety, reliability, and redundancy to many flight decks. So you can see why we're excited about the G3000 and G5000.
If you're like me, you quickly made your way to the end of the list to find out what Flying considers to be the #1 navigation innovation of all time. The answer: GPS. What was initially intended for use by military and government entities, is now widely available and affordable for general aviation aircraft, enhancing the ease and safety of navigating the skies. And Garmin is proud to have played a part in bringing this technology to pilots through a variety of products over the last 20 years.
