To those of you lucky enough to be flying with the G3X Touch system that debuted last year, can you share with us what features you feel are needed in the system to perfect it?
I've been operating a Dynon SkyView in the past, and we had a similar thread going that Dynon would check on and then to much of our satisfaction, either provide in future releases, or disclose the challenges and reasons they could not satisfy those requests in current release plans.
I'd like to have a similar airing of grievances with the Garmin system and I feel this is a great place to do it! I will point out that so far my correspondence with Garmin (g3xpert) has been nothing but fantastic, and they've given me very detailed answers to my inquiries.
My install is commencing soon and my G600 will be removed, I've had my share of complaints with that platform but I understand their market is the certified big boys and the dollar signs come out quick.
What do YOU want to see on the future releases?

1. Auto option for display of trim and flap positions on the PFD.
2. Option to have the right knob still CRS when in moving map mode. (COMPLETED? per http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showpost.php?p=952832&postcount=11)
3. Tach or Hobbs time in small font inside tach on the front page. Saves having to scroll to EIS page to work out TIS.
4. Store the data files (just say 20hrs or so) onboard. That way if you forget to bring the SD card then you haven't lost the engine data forever.
5. User defined hierarchy and positioning for the EIS display elements on the PFD.
6. The EIS page needs some refinement. There's no need for most aircraft systems to split it into engine, electrical etc..just means more button (screen) pushing.
