Well...Garmin has been playing hide and go seek with some of their installation manuals! I have no idea why they would do that. Actually, I know exactly why, but I don't agree with it! So screw 'em...hiding information is not a good practice if you ask me. Here's the URL to the GMA-340 installation manual: http://www.garmin.com/manuals/GMA340AudioPanel_InstallationManual.pdf They "unpublished" the URL from their site, but hey...a little futzing around and you can find it, as I did. Download it now, stow it away somewhere on your computer(s) and thank yourself later for doing it now while you still can.

I would expect that unless and until the two companies are totally integrated, this would be the place to go for formerly UPS model information.

Clark" Subject: RE: AeroElectric-List: GMA-340 installation manual --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "James E. Clark" Hmmm. Maybe they missed it. What address did you use? I wouldn't write them off so soon. I sent them a series of questions and did in fact get answers ... quickly. My questions went out Sunday morning and by Monday afternoon I had answers. Not bad in my book. Also, the answers were basically consistent with what I thought they **should** and would do. My biggest problem is that I did not see the SL70(R) in the list of current products found on their website. Might have just been my (or even their) oversight. I have posted the reply to my original questions below. James p.s. I had asked about the CNX80/MX20/SL70(R)/SL30/SL15 combination. The three "systems" referenced in the reply, I believe are CNX80/MX20/SL30 ============================================================================ ==================== James, I expect to see all three systems in question supported for the forseeable future. The CNX80 is currently the only WAAS GPS on the market that is approved under TSO-C146a. It also has a number of other unique features that will secure its place in the avionics marketplace. It has flight planning capabilities that allow you to insert a victor or jet airway into a flight plan with a single entry. It has an infrared dataport that will allow users to do IFR flight planning with greater ease than is now possible. Its display, although smaller than the 530, is equal in resolution. There are other features I could list as well. In the case of the 430 and 530, the success of those products speaks for itself, and they will only get better with time. The GX products will and have been discontinued along with the SL50 and SL60 but the rest of the Apollo products will continue to be produced and supported. The discontinued products will also be supported for years to come. I hope this answers some of your questions, thank you for your email. We value your business and your feedback. GARMIN AT, Inc.
