The only thing I would like to see is the ability to enter a hold x distance from a VOR without having to create a custom waypoint or switch between a waypoint and FMS, unless there’s a better way of doing this on the Avidyne 8m not aware of.
@@AvidyneAvionics Bummer... I've been a long time user of Garmin Pilot. I have used ForeFlight, but my backup devices are Android which FF does not run on.
Went from 430 to Avidyne 540! Love it. So much easier to use and understand where stuff is!
I have a 430W. Is the 540 a direct slide-in replacement, as well?
@@maperna99 It uses the same wiring but it is a slide-in replacement for the 530.

This product is the best on the market period

I would like to see voice commands in the 550 like the 750 has

No. It will work with Foreflight, FlyQ, plus others.
