G5 Software

[smt6]

Did the G5 software revert to 8.3?

Was checking to see if I was on the current software, and my G5 showed I was on 8.41.

Should I go back to 8.3? Any help appreciated.

Good Afternoon,

No action necessary here. The G3X Touch software update includes LRU software that it distributes via CAN, including G5 software. The latest G3X Touch software version, 9.31, includes G5 software version 8.41.

Thanks,

Justin

If I have a standalone experimental G5, should/can I update to 8.41? I am currently running 8.3 as well

I have two G5s for the past 8 or so years. I do NOT do the update when it first comes out. I wait till I see something here about a new update then do it a few weeks later. NOW, I am wondering what version I have so walked out to hangar to check. I am still at 8.0. How I need to find out what changed and if I update soon or wait for a major revision.

Hi George, For your G5 system, you want to run the most up to date software available on the G5 software download page. You would not want to reference any LRU software included in a G3X Touch EFIS software loader card, if you do not have a G3X Touch. Coincidentally, we actually have a software update for EAB standalone G5's that will be made available very shortly, v8.44.

Curious why there is no email subscription list for updates on software. Or a pop-up during Nav database updates, informing new software has been released. Seems like a no-brainer.

Same here. Garmin customer service has been known to give the same advice.
