Garmin 500W Series GPS/WAAS Nav Com 

The Garmin 500W Series GPS/WAAS Navigator is a panel-mounted 
product that contains a GPS/WAAS receiver for GPS approved primary 
navigation under TSO C146a, (plus optional VHF Com and VHF Nav 
radios) in an integrated unit with a moving map and color display. The 500W 
Series unit features a graphical display which may also be used to depict 
traffic, weather, or terrain data.  Optional TAWS annunciation and audio is 
available in some installations.  

 

The navigation functions are operated by dedicated keys and graphical 
menus which are controlled by the buttons and the dual concentric rotary 
knob along the bottom and right side of the display. 

 

Optional VHF Com and VHF Nav radio functions are controlled via 
dedicated buttons and knobs on the left side of the display and adjacent to 
frequencies they are controlling.
