The Garmin Aera 500 Atlantic GPS is the base model of Garmin’s epic new series. Recently released, the Aera 500 Atlantic version features the same great elements as the Americas versions, but with detailed preloaded maps of Europe, the Middle East and Africa. A multi-model unit, the Aera 500 offers easy transitions between air and land travel. The intuitive, menu-driven, sunlight readable touch screen offers unprecedented ease of use. According to Garmin Vice President Gary Kelley, this affordable aviation unit is "so simple to use that many will never have to crack open the manual."
This entry level aviation unit is jam packed with all the features you’d expect from a Garmin – a rugged and streamlined unit with high resolution maps, diagrams of nearby airports, terrain alerts and unparalleled versatility – along with a host of fun, new tricks including the addition of private airports and heliports for "nearest" emergency options, TAWS-like color coding, pop up alerts, overhead and vertical terrain views and much, much more. Once your plane touches down on the runway, simply transition your Garmin Aera 500 Atlantic GPS to drive mode to take yourself home. The Aera’s road navigation system uses the same software as the popular Nuvi and features voice guided turn-by-turn directions and text-to-speech technology that calls out street names to eliminate confusion.
