Well That's a bit disappointing. The area displayed in the photo is the Grand Canyon...essentially no useful information at all. Suppose it's a matter of expectations if they stopped the zooming where there was still detail, I'd not be disappointed.That looks normal. You are zoomed very far in.
Without detail at that zoom level, what use is a moving map at that zoom level?It's a moving map aerial navigation display. It's not meant to be a satellite photo!
Wow, we really are spoiled!
I think you're correct about these units being long in the tooth. For now, I'll have to rely on ForeFlight for detail at that zoom level.We are spoiled, but some of that hardware is pretty long in the tooth now. I installled my first G3XT GDU 10y ago. It was amazing then. Less so now. Refresh rates on map redraws are pretty sluggish now. The GTNs leave them for dead.
I reckon we are due a G3X Xi or G4X. But I’ve been thinking that for a few years now.
Given the new 12" Dynon that just came out, I think Garmin needs to step up their game. I for one would love to see a 12" G4X. Better put some more in the avionics budget.
