So I have top of the line state of the art avionics in a pretty fast airplane. I added the AOA and then in June upgraded the G500 to the G500 TXi because of the Garmin rebate. A couple of years later I upgraded the ESI 2000 to the ESI 500 because it had NAV and I upgraded the GTX 330ES to the GTX 335 because I didn't like the green display of the 330ES. Over a couple of months period of time I got almost 25% of the cost back in sales of my legacy equipment. Then the Avionics shop gave me some more discounts as a result of installing all of the products that I installed. EI also had Oshkosh rebates and I got a good deal on the original ESI 2000. Then there were some more by attending some seminars at Oshkosh. At the time of purchase of the products, Garmin had some pretty good rebates. I did the major upgrade at the end of 2013 with the project done in March of 2014. The preview of the ILS showed up on both the CDI and the Glideslope indicator in gray while the active GPSS had the standard color. All was done in GPSS mode until established on final. I ran the full ILS Approach into Stockton with the holding pattern in lieu of a PT. I also had the chance to try out the CDI Preview. I set up the VNAV to arrive at SJC at 1,000 feet MSL. The VNAV on vertical Glideslope indicator and VNAV required rate are clearly shown. The large descent rate required was due to the East Bay Hills. One of the pictures is without VNAV and the other shows the VNAV descent into San Jose. I rushed over to my Avionics shop today (the change is not user selectable) and had them change the setting. In reading the manual for the latest update to the G500 TXi I came across something that hasn't been promoted, something that I had wished Garmin would add but I had never asked about it.
