After finishing the X-Plane 11 G530 Navigation Unit Tutorial, I discovered a piece of G530 hardware. This is truly a great piece of gear, so let me introduce it first.

GarSIM GNS530 from emuteq.com

Its features are as follows: USB interface, 5.6-inch display, adjustable backlight, optional 12V external power, detachable mount, Software compatible with X-Plane, FS2004, FSX, RealityXP, FlyThisSim

By the way, emuteq also has a G1000 product, priced at £2,200, which also looks incredibly cool. After seeing the G1000, looking at the G530, the price of less than £500 doesn’t seem too high after all (anyway, I can’t afford either…)
