4.9 Weather Radar
The G500/600 can display weather radar from a Garmin GWX system or from
selected 3rd-party radars. Only one weather radar system may be interfaced to
the system. For detailed information on the operation of 3rd-party radars, refer
to their specific documentation.
4.9.1 Garmin GWX 68 Radar Description
The Garmin GWX 68 and GWX 70 Airborne Color Weather Radars combine
excellent range and adjustable scanning profiles with a high-definition target
display.
To focus radar scanning on specific areas, Sector Scanning offers pilot-
adjustable horizontal scan angles of 20º, 40º, 60º, or 90º (up to 120º with the
GWX 70). A vertical scanning function helps to analyze storm tops, gradients,
and cell buildup activity at various altitudes.
See the documentation of each radar for specific features.
