Well I finally got to update the G900X system software. All in it should take an hour to 90 minutes to complete as long as you know what you are doing. We were completely uncomfortable with a few early prompts that read as if you are deleting aircraft parameters like fuel & trim calibrations. Now don’t get me wrong it is kind of easy to authorize the complete dump of your calibrations but with the helpful assistance of Tim at Garmin we worked out way through the process and completed the update. He is as frustrated as owners are about the process as he has to deal with many of the questions from an ever growing fleet of G900 aircraft.
I flew my regular commute today and all is well with the exception of the Synthetic Vision and Pathways (HITS) no longer work. Apparently I have to reauthorize the SVS again to make it available on my system.
Of note there is no way to save the user settings like Flight Plans, user way points, screen set up etc… This is a minor inconvenience to me as I didn’t have many flight plans saved or many user waypoints but the ones I did have I really liked and there is no way to replace the many of the user waypoints other than flying over the specific spots I wanted and recreating them only to be lost again when the next update comes in Q1, 2010. Seems to me that when designing a sophisticated system like this that backing up user info would be a Release v1.0 item. Regardless I am pleased to now better understand the system and be current.
