The top-of-the-line unit in the new and exciting Aera series, the Garmin Aera 560 will have you salivating, snorting and pushing your glasses back up the bridge of your sweaty, overexcited, geeky nose. This top secret line is brand new to the Garmin aviation GPS offerings, and SkyGeek.com is one of the first places to offer it. And since it’s from SkyGeek.com, you just know you’re getting it for the best deal. Please excuse the smooch marks on the unit when it arrives.

If you are a fan of Garmin products (who isn’t), and you’re a big tech toy nerd (again, who isn’t), then the Garmin Aera 560 is a great buy. May as well start at the top and see what the best unit has to offer. What does it have to offer, you ask? The Garmin Aera 560 boasts all the features you love about other Garmin portable GPS units – touch screen with self-explanatory icons, detailed topography with terrain and obstacle alerts, preloaded SafeTaxi charts, AOPA data and XM hookups for music, entertainment and accurate, up to date 411 on weather and traffic conditions. However, with the Aera 560 GPS model, you also get free aviation database updates for a year. COOL (snort, snort)!!

This unit is a combination of the best in Garmin aviation GPS units and the Garmin Nuvi for safe, efficient travel in the air or on the road.
