650xi new version

[Tarrow]

There’s a newer system version for the Garmin 650xi. If you don’t have Main Software version 20.12, you should have it upgraded. It adds the ability to use the control knobs, that only controlled frequencies, to switch pages and zoom the display. It takes a lot of stress out of navigating the unit in turbulence when you are trying to poke the right thing on the screen. It makes the concentric knobs function more like a 430. You can even modify the sequence of pages. I was skeptical about getting one of these until I saw this feature in their simulator.
