 Across the cockpit or around the globe:
Garmin Connext™ is your key to wireless access.
Today’s aviation world is a far more interactive, information-driven environment
than ever before. Fortunately, with the development of Garmin’s satellite,
network link and in-cockpit wireless connectivity systems (known collectively
as Garmin Connext™), aircraft operators can now afford to access quality on-
demand weather updates, text/voice communications, and other data sharing
capabilities designed to streamline and simplify the ways they connect – both
in the air and on the ground.
Using onboard link technology, Garmin Connext™ lets you take advantage
of close-range wireless capabilities already built into many tablets and
smartphones, enabling information to flow back-and-forth between those
devices and your Connext-capable avionics in the panel. able to use your iPad®
or other app-compatible device or Garmin portable product1 as a true cockpit
interface – capable of transferring flight plans, streaming GPS and attitude
information, graphically depicting ADS-B linked traffic and weather, controlling
SiriusXM™ audio entertainment channels, and much more. With Garmin
Connext, your mobile touchscreen virtually becomes an extra digital control/
display in the cockpit.
Likewise, on a vastly more far-reaching scale, Garmin Connext integrated
satellite and ground network links can be used to provide a world of seamless
connectivity solutions – everything from Iridium-based satellite weather and
automatic position reporting to inflight text messaging and voice calling
worldwide – with graphical interface provided on most Garmin “glass flight
deck” displays and select avionics products.
 Wirelessly link your iPad® to your avionics.
You can use Garmin Connext™ – via one of our Flight Stream series of Bluetooth®
gateways in your aircraft – to stream information in real time between your
avionics and select Connext-capable1 apps and Garmin portables (such as your
tablet’s Garmin Pilot® app – or the aera® 796/795). That means your portable
device can now become a true cockpit interface – capable of transferring flight
plans, streaming GPS and attitude information to reveal Garmin Pilot’s 3-D
synthetic vision display, graphically depicting ADS-B linked traffic and weather,
controlling your SiriusXM™ system’s audio entertainment channels, and much
more. Additionally, if your tablet is using the ForeFlight aviation app, certain
traffic, weather and other data streaming functions are also accessible for your
configuration via Flight Stream, as well.

With the wireless mobility that your Flight Stream device provides (this Bluetooth®
connectivity also comes built-in with our G3X™ Touch series of non-TSO’d flight
displays), you’ll enjoy more freedom in everything from preflight planning to inflight
decision-making. For example, instead of sitting in a too hot or too cold aircraft
while you take the time to manually enter flight plan information into your avionics
system, you can now use your tablet’s Garmin Pilot® app to preload that data
from the comfort of your own home or office. Then, once you’re ready to go to the
airport, Connext lets you wirelessly upload the data – waypoints, airway routings
and all – from your tablet to your plane’s GTN™ or GNS series navigator during
preflight. It’s fast. It’s easy. It’s seamless. And, even better, keeping flight plans
in sync between your device and your avionics is a cinch: You enter the data on
one device, and with a tap or two, your entries are automatically transferred to
the other. So, there’s no duplication of effort on your part when it comes to keeping
everything in sync. Data sharing with Garmin Connext: It’s all about bringing greater
efficiency and work-saving convenience to your cockpit management.

The Garmin Flight Stream 110/210 series of Bluetooth® gateways provide wireless connectivity between
your compatible tablet/mobile device and your avionics. The Flight Stream 110 is designed to be paired
directly with a GDL 84 or GDL 88 ADS-B datalink or a GDL 69/GDL 69A SiriusXM™ satellite receiver –
to provide the benefits of these products without the need for an installed display in the cockpit. The
Flight Stream 210 adds connectivity with your GTN™ 750/650 or GNS 430/530W series navigators,
enabling select Connext-capable1 apps and Garmin portables to access graphical weather, traffic, GPS
and backup attitude input, for even more situational display capability in your cockpit. (Note: Both
Flight Stream 110 and 210 devices stream only the available information from your installed avionics.)
