Garmin G3X Touch™ for Experimental Aircraft - 010-01056-00
The Garmin G3X Touch™ Display - GDU 450 is a touchscreen flight display for experimental/amateur-built aircraft, providing PFD, MFD and EIS capabilities within the G3X Touch™ system. It gives builders a large-format display platform that can be configured for current panel requirements and expanded as those needs change.
Flexible Panel Growth
Build from a single display or configure a system with up to six 10.6″ and 7″ landscape or 7″ portrait displays. Multiple-display installations can also use a full-page MFD.
Touch And Knob Control
Manage display functions with touchscreen inputs or dual concentric knobs. Dedicated bezel buttons provide quick access to direct-to navigation and nearest airport or waypoint selections.
Enhanced Flight Awareness
Standard SVX™ synthetic vision presents 3D terrain, obstacles and airports. Highway in the Sky pathway boxes help visualize en route legs, course intercepts and glidepath information.
Adaptable Flight Display Views
The G3X Touch™ system can transition from a full-screen PFD to a split PFD/MFD view, placing key flight and navigation information together when appropriate. Primary flight data includes attitude, airspeed, altitude, heading and vertical speed, with an HSI that accepts VOR/LOC and/or GPS course guidance. GSU 25C ADAHRS provides aircraft position, rate, vector and acceleration reference data in a compact alternative to gyro-based instrument systems.
Mapping And Airport Context
The dynamic map draws on built-in terrain, mapping and obstacle databases to depict surface features, cities, airports and SUAs. Pilots can pan and pinch-to-zoom the moving map, then touch a location to view its bearing, distance and time from the current position. Built-in SafeTaxi™ diagrams overlay aircraft position on airport taxiways, runways and ramps after touchdown.
Connected Information Options
Available Garmin ADS-B “In” solutions allow the G3X Touch™ system to display up to 60 ADS-B traffic targets and subscription-free U.S. weather. A separately sold GDL® 51R or GDL 52R SiriusXM receiver adds SiriusXM® satellite weather coverage, including NEXRAD radar, and audio entertainment1. Standard FliteCharts® procedural charts and optional subscription-based Jeppesen® style ChartView™ plates provide georeferenced approach and terminal-procedure information.

VERSATILE DISPLAY
With a touch, switch from full-screen PFD to split PFD/MFD to put more valuable flight information directly in your field of view. Multiple display installations can also utilize a full-page MFD.
DYNAMIC TOPOGRAPHY
By referencing built-in terrain, mapping and obstacle databases, the G3X Touch flight display shows detailed surface features, cities, airports, SUAs and more on the dynamic map display.
INTERACTIVE MAP
Get all your flight information at your fingertips. Easily pan across the moving map using your finger, or pinch to zoom for more detail. You can also touch anywhere, and, using your current position, the display shows the bearing, distance and time to that location.
TERRAIN ALERTING
A built-in database depicts terrain and obstacles with color-coded 2D or profile displays — or both — while visual and audible alerts indicate when potential terrain conflicts loom ahead.
SAFETAXI™ DATABASE
Upon touchdown, our built-in SafeTaxi diagrams help you navigate airport environments safely, with your aircraft position overlaid onto taxiways, runways, ramps and more.
CHARTS IN CONTEXT
Our standard FliteCharts® procedural charts or optional Jeppesen® style ChartView™ plates — available with a subscription — provide georeferenced approaches and terminal procedures.
TRAFFIC, WEATHER AND MUSIC
With available Garmin ADS-B “In” solutions, G3X Touch can display up to 60 ADS-B traffic targets as well as subscription-free U.S. weather. Add SiriusXM® satellite weather coverage — including NEXRAD radar — plus listen to audio entertainment1 with a GDL® 51R or GDL 52R SiriusXM receiver (sold separately).
MONITOR TRAFFIC TARGETS
Pair G3X Touch with your compatible ADS-B receiver, and enjoy our proprietary TargetTrend™ and TerminalTraffic™ technologies to more intuitively monitor ADS-B traffic targets in the air and on the ground.
ENGINE INDICATION SYSTEM
Display engine information with the addition of our GEA™ 24 module and appropriate sensors to show engine gauges, color bands, alerts, fuel, flaps, trim and other vital sensor data.
SUPPORTS POPULAR ENGINES

IMPROVE AWARENESS
Add a GAP 26 angle of attack (AOA) probe to be more in tune with your aircraft. See your AOA alongside your airspeed on your PFD, and receive AOA alerting with audible tones.
ENGINE-OUT HELP
In case of an engine power loss situation, G3X Touch offers Smart Glide technology2 to help reduce your workload — so you can focus more attention on other tasks during the emergency.
EASY ACTIVATION
The Smart Glide system can be activated with the press of an optional dedicated panel button or through your PFD, with a shortcut to integrated emergency checklists (if configured).
RECOMMENDS AN AIRPORT
Considering the aircraft’s estimated glide range (including terrain and obstacles), the system recommends a suitable airport for landing and offers a list of alternatives, or it advises if no airport is estimated to be within glide range.
DIRECT-TO ROUTING
If an airport is available, the G3X Touch display creates a Direct-to route to the selected airport. And if you’re equipped with a Garmin autopilot, the system will engage navigation and airspeed modes to fly the aircraft near the selected airport.
EMERGENCY INFORMATION
Smart Glide provides information for the selected airport and loads the airport CTAF frequency into the G3X Touch standby radio position while providing a shortcut to enter an emergency code in your compatible transponder.
LANDING
Once the aircraft is near the airport, the pilot resumes control and prepares the aircraft for arrival — for example, bleeding off altitude and making the final approach to the selected runway — then lands the aircraft.
