No new Garmin G3XT updates for over a year?

Exactly. No Garmin 430W update since November 2019, which I interpret as additional evidence that they reached perfection with that platform.
what else would you want it to do? I'm genuinely curious. I can't think of any other features that would be on my wish list. It's pretty awesome at this point.
There’s a list of about 15 or so bugs floating around - not the least of which is the FIS-B/TFR data not showing up.
Then there are improvements to the user timer controls and function..
Is that still a thing? I thought that got fixed. I must be out of the loopThere’s a list of about 15 or so bugs floating around - not the least of which is the FIS-B/TFR data not showing up.

Absolutely agree!! Why would Garmin not support its own. Such a non Garmin thing to do. I put one in my old Cessna with a 275 but a g3x in the RV won’t work. Hmmm! I had to figure a work around with the 275 so maybe someone will figure it out in the g3x.
Yes, still a thing -- In one of their last posts, @g3xpert referenced it -- it's root caused & fixed, but not released.
Looks like the GCO14 carbon monoxide detector is only supported by; GTN650Xi, GTN750Xi, GI275 or G500TXi.
AITHRE has the Shield EX 3.0 that connects to a GEA25 and alerts on the G3X Touch.
Pricing, lifetime (10 years) and functionality seems similar.
It is a good guess but it does not tell us what the new features will be or the cost increase (prices never go down) or how long it will be before the new product is released.
Not supporting the GCO14 carbon monoxide detector is odd when there is the high quality AITHRE cmd competitor available.
There is a fairly sizable base of G3X Touches installed and slowly running down support annoys customers and over time they stop recommending Garmin products.
