Just got the G5 add-in and wish I got it sooner.  :)  That said, I did find some bugs as follows:

  • The GPS mode is not showing on the HSI, e.g. ENR, LPV, LNAV, etc.
  • The flashing WPT message does not appear on the HSI when approaching a waypoint. 
  • Unable to set the altitude bug.  As soon as I click on the knob, the PFD menu disappears.
  • No glideslope or CDI indicator on the PFD.
  • No way of setting the heading bug to the current heading by pressing and holding the knob.
  • No green rate of turn triangles on the PFD.
  • No heading bug, NAV course or track on the heading tape on the PFD.
  • No audible altitude alert tones.
  • No flashing altitude alerts.
  • The -2.5° bar is missing from the PFD.

I just installed and found the same features missing, as well as OAT, TAS & wind direction/velocity as now available in latest Garmin instruments (as installed in the plane I fly).  

Also, is it intentional that course is set by primary OBS, vs Course menu entry on the G5?  I don't have a separate CDI/OBS in my plane, so don't know if this is a real world scenario.

Are there plans to update the G5 to address any of these?
