While aera 660 is light, compact and fits in any flight  bag, it’s also packed with capabilities. As a dedicated navigator, it  quickly and reliably acquires GPS and GLONASS satellite constellations  and combines advanced navigation tools with rich, interactive,  dynamically drawn aviation maps. And it displays it all on a bright,  sunlight-readable 5-inch diagonal capacitive touchscreen display.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe icons on the aera 660 are instantly familiar to anyone who’s used a Garmin GTN™ touchscreen GPS\/NAV\/COMM, G5000® integrated flight deck or even the Garmin Pilot™  app, and the intuitive interface allows you to quickly pan across the  map screen, pinch to zoom and more. Meanwhile, the power button on the  top accesses quick settings, including portrait or landscape  orientation, volume and brightness.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eComplete Flight Mapping\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe aera 660 aviation portable comes preloaded with detailed flight  mapping, terrain and obstacles alerting, U.S., European and Canadian  SafeTaxi® charts and AOPA Airport Directory or optional AC-U-KWIK global  airport directory to put a wealth of resources right at your fingertips  — including local fuel prices (U.S. only). The graphical Terrain page  offers both overhead and vertical profile views of the topography  beneath you. Switch to IFR map mode to display and navigate on high or  low enroute airways, and use your touchscreen map cursor to reference  MEAs (Minimum Enroute Altitudes) and distances between intersections.  The aera 660 even provides vertical navigation (VNAV) guidance to  simplify en-route transitions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eYou’ll stay aware of special airspace activity with more than 650  parachute drop zone details (U.S. only) and get 1-touch airspace  information. Garmin Smart Airspace™ guidance conveniently highlights the  airspace nearest your current altitude and de-emphasizes non-pertinent  airspace so you can quickly identify your location relative to the  airspace around you. And, of course, the aera 660 includes our signature  direct-to and nearest-airport navigation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"At a Glance\" class=\"bottom-s\" src=\"https:\/\/static.garmin.com\/en\/products\/010-01518-00\/g\/complete.jpg\" width=\"700\" height=\"\" border=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eConnect With Your Panel\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith an optional power\/data cable (sold separately), the aera 660  connects with your Garmin avionics to accept flight plans from your GTN  750\/650 and GNS 530W\/430W navigators, as well as upload frequencies to  the standby position of your GTR 200 Comm radio, GTR 225 Comm radio or  GNC 255 NAV\/COMM radio. It also provides your Garmin NAV\/COMM radios  with the GPS position source required to look up nearest frequencies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWeather and Traffic Without Wires\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eUsing Bluetooth® connectivity via Garmin Connext  technology, the aera 660 easily interfaces with compatible devices to  cut the clutter in your cockpit and improve your flying experience. With  a Garmin GDL® 52 portable ADS-B\/SiriusXM® receiver or GTX 345 all-in-one ADS-B transponder, you can access and display ADS-B subscription-free weather¹ and advanced traffic alerts, including TargetTrend\u003csup\u003eTM\u003c\/sup\u003e relative motion tracking and TerminalTraffic\u003csup\u003eTM\u003c\/sup\u003e, so you’re aware of potential conflicts in busy terminal airspace. It even allows wireless control of Garmin VIRB® action cameras to start and stop recording and capture photos.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eGet 3D Perspective\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eRevolutionary 3D Vision technology gives you a virtual 3-D  behind-the-aircraft perspective view of surrounding terrain derived from  GPS\/GLONASS and the onboard terrain database. Slide your finger across  the touchscreen to rotate the view and show land and water features,  obstacles, runways and airport signposts in relative proximity to the  aircraft. And when you connect aera 660 to an attitude source through a Flight Stream 210 or Flight Stream 510,  a GDL 52 series portable data link or a GTX 345 ADS-B transponder,  Garmin SVX synthetic vision and attitude command bars are automatically  added to your display.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePlus, with its forward-looking terrain avoidance capability, the aera  660 predicts in advance where towers or obstacles may exist and shades  the landscape with amber or red overlays to indicate those areas. Also,  get help flying clear of conflicts with Garmin WireAware™ wire-strike  avoidance technology, which graphically overlays Hazardous Obstacle  Transmission (HOT) lines that span rivers and canyons right on the  moving map page, for the U.S. as well as in some locations in both  Canada and Mexico. Touch the wire to display both MSL and AGL heights,  and see color-coded obstacle alerting depending on your distance to the  hazard. An optional full database that includes all powerlines is also  available.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"At a Glance\" class=\"bottom-s\" src=\"https:\/\/static.garmin.com\/en\/products\/010-01518-00\/g\/3d.jpg\" width=\"700\" height=\"\" border=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eStay Up to Date With Garmin\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith the aera 660, you can cut the cord — and your database prices.  You can update databases via Wi-Fi instead of connecting to a computer,  and stay current throughout the year with a single, affordable annual  subscription that includes all the databases you need, including the  Garmin Navigation Database (U.S., Canada, Mexico-version only).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eAll-in-one Functionality\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe aera 660 fulfills the role of either a Class I or Class II  electronic flight bag, greatly reducing the need to rely on paper charts  in the cockpit. U.S. geo-referenced VFR sectional and IFR enroute  charts come preloaded to show your aircraft’s position overlaid directly  on the relevant chart, and optional European and Canadian VFR and IFR  charts and airport diagrams are also available.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhen in IFR map mode, the aera 660 can display victor airways, jet  routes, leg distance and more, similar to traditional enroute charts.  Plus, pilots who prefer Jeppesen charts and diagrams can use built-in  ChartView capability, which uses Jeppesen’s extensive library to provide  global geo-referenced charting capabilities. European users receive  European VFR Map enhancements to see even more visual reference points,  including borders, lakes, roads, grasslands, parks and more.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eaera 660 Home Dock\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eDesigned to securely hold your aera 660 for desktop use in your home,  office or FBO pilot lounge, this sturdy metal mounting stand works with  the USB and power adapter cables provided with your portable navigator –  allowing you to to keep your unit charged, while positioning the aera’s  touchscreen so you can use it to set up flight plans, review airport  information, and perform other key preflight planning tasks, comfortably  and conveniently.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eIn a Class by Itself\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith its long list of features, the aera 660 combines many of the  capabilities of panel-mounted avionics with a value-packed,  purpose-built package.
