August 29, 2011 - The WACO Classic Aircraft system combines GPS, COMM and NAV functions with powerful multifunction display capabilities like high-resolution terrain mapping, graphical flight planning, optional satellite weather and traffic display.  

With the GTN 650’s revolutionary new touchscreen interface, you’re rarely more than two taps away from all of the system’s primary functions. Quickly pan across the map screen simply by swiping your finger across the 4.9-in. diagonal high-resolution TFT display. Or enter waypoint data with the onscreen alphanumeric entry.  

It’s even designed with raised grips in the bezel and a shelf across the lower edge of the display that serve as gripping points in both smooth and turbulent flight conditions. Traditional concentric knobs are also available for those who are used to that style of data input.

The standard GTN-650 Touch screen combined with the optional IFR Plus package that adds the Garmin GTN-750 large screen display with both a remote Garmin Transponder and Remote Garmin Audio Panel provides for a very clean but incredibly powerful navigation and safety solution. 

Combining the latest in multi-function display (MFD) features with touchscreen data entry and integrated radio tuning as well as remote transponder and audio panel control the GTN series offers amazing, yet simple to use, technology that once again promises to redirect the course of General Aviation electronics.
