Added ship's power, and then fired up all the avionics. Inserted the 7.0 update, and the MFD updated quickly. Then the PFD, and that took about 10 minutes. All good when done.
Haven't flown yet, but no error messages, and splash screens show 7.0!

Haven't flown yet, but no error messages, and splash screens show 7.0! Followed the same process with the same results. Flew a couple hours and had no issues. One benefit of scanning for the new UI changes is that I finally figured out how to mute SXM music when Comm is active! Seems so obvious now. Duh! |

Flew about 90 minutes. No issues. ADS-B appeared to be working. AP and all other functions were on track.
Tomorrow I’ll see what the new changes seem like.

So, after my last flight with daughter # 2, I uploaded 8.30. Left screen ok, right screen, I got an LRU corrupt message and told to reinsert the SD card. I rebooted as instructed and the right screen came on with no issues. Shut everything off and on once again, all ok.
Today I started up, left screen boots up, right screen boots with configuring maps, gets to 100% and is ok Runup, take off....No Traffic! No ADSB, No TIS-B. Traffic on left screen Failed display and totally disappeared from my right display.
I played with the Config and regular menus for about an hour. I got to Bluetooth and realized it wasn’t seeing the other G3X. Took a few tries, but got it up and running. Will fly tomorrow to confirm all is back to normal.
BTW, when I originally ran the menu, the Data Link icon was dark!!
Just want to know if anyone has had an issue with 8.30? I intend on calling Garmin tomorrow, the help line was a 35-40 minute wait...no way!

Each time I have upgraded the G3X my ADSB has not worked the first flight. Then magically all is well my next flight. I uploaded today and plan to fly the end of the week—will see if I have the same issue.

Version 8.3 released July 1st. Thanks for posting this. I had no idea. Is there a way to set up e-mail notifications? I haven't found any way on the Garmin site to setup auto-notifications. I edited my browser settings so the startup page goes to the Garmin software update page. Whenever I start the browser I see the latest version for the G3X. |
