WARNING!!! The aera 760 will NOT send flight plan info to a garmin 430w/530w via serial cable. I have just spent a week on the phone with garmin tech support resolving this issue. They finally determined it will not work as advertised and are in the process of changing their worldwide marketing info for the aera 760. It is still a great unit, but it will only receive flight plan info via serial connection with mapmx protocols. The gns 430w series unit do not have mapmx on the in side of any serial port connection. Garmin is working on a way to make it right with me personally, but it will not be advertised in the future for having bi-directional flight plan transfer capabilities for legacy gns series navigators.
I concur with this. Just spent a mornign with my GTN650 and Aera760 and same thing....flight plans write to the Aera but not the reverse. Also could not connect to the GTN650 wifi network ....search doesn't see it at all.
Thank You guys for that info about the new AERA 760, it is a beautiful design portable GPS.
