Garmin today announced its ADS-B solution for G1000 avionics systems: the new GTX 335 and 345 transponders, which also will serve ADS-B OUT needs for a variety of Garmin products, including the G500/G600, GNS 430W/530W, GNS 480 and G3X Touch

The GTX is an all-in-one transponder and 1090-MHz ADS-B OUT unit; the GTX 345 offers dual-link (987 and 1090 MHz) ADS-B IN and the GTX 335 ADS-B OUT only.

Both are also available as remote-mount transponders and fully integrate with G1000 systems. G1000-equipped turboprop aircraft that can be upgraded to ADS-B OUT capability using the new transponder include the Cessna Caravan, Daher TBM 700 through 900 and Piper Meridian.

Even without a compatible cockpit-mounted display, the GTX 345 can display ADS-B traffic and weather, GPS position data and back-up attitude information on the Garmin Pilot and ForeFlight Mobile apps using Garmin’s Connext wireless technology.
