Wish List Wednesday: Best Gifts for Pilots
There are only five weeks left until Christmas and if you haven’t begun your shopping yet, it’s time to start. Don’t panic. We’re here to help. Every Wednesday between now and December 25, we’ll give you a few ideas for those you love who need a sense of direction — pilots, boaters, runners, cyclists, golfers, hikers, drivers, geocachers, cell phone users, and hunters, just to name a few. This week we’re focusing on those who have caught the flying bug.
If you’re looking for the ultimate aviation gift for under the tree, now is the time to upgrade your favorite pilot’s airplane avionics. Every pilot would be thrilled with a new G600 all-glass retrofit flight deck or the GTS 800 traffic receiver. Since we have a rebate on these and other products of up to $7000, you can give this ultimate gift without breaking Santa’s bank.
If the pilot in your life already has a fully equipped plane, we recommend our newest touchscreen handheld, the aera, which will take pilots from the plane to the car. The aera 560 is our top of the line model and it has advanced features like XM WX satellite weather, SafeTaxi, AOPA Airport Directory, street mapping with turn-by-turn voice prompted directions and traffic support in automotive mode. Watch the video to learn more. If you want a bigger screen than the aera, check out the 696, which also has a rebate between now and the end of the year. 
Santa never forgets stocking stuffers, and neither should you. All good flights (even those with a sleigh and reindeer) begin with good planning and training. Make sure you don’t forget to add Pilot My-Cast by Garmin and eLearning to your list. Pilot My-Cast lets pilots check the weather and file a flight plan directly from their cell phone. It’s currently available with all major carriers and with the most popular phones, including the BlackBerry. It’ll also be available on the iPhone before the holidays. Watch this Pilot My-Cast video to learn more. eLearning is an online, highly interactive training program that will help the pilot in your life make the most of their Garmin aviation equipment. Here’s a video with more details.
If you want to see any of these products in person, you can always visit our Chicago Store or any Garmin aviation dealer.
