The aera 660 aviation portable puts the latest Garmin technology in the palm of your hand, and it carries on our tradition of creating innovative navigators that go way back to the beginning of handheld aviation GPS. While aera 660 is light, compact and fits in any flight bag, it’s also packed with capabilities. As a dedicated navigator, it quickly and reliably acquires GPS and GLONASS satellite constellations and combines advanced navigation tools with rich, interactive, dynamically drawn aviation maps. And it displays it all on a bright, sunlight-readable 5-inch diagonal capacitive touchscreen display.
The icons on the aera 660 are instantly familiar to anyone who’s used a Garmin GTN™ touchscreen GPS/NAV/COMM, G5000® integrated flight deck or even the Garmin Pilot™ app, and the intuitive interface allows you to quickly pan across the map screen, pinch to zoom and more. Meanwhile, the power button on the top accesses quick settings, including portrait or landscape orientation, volume and brightness.
The following optional charts can be installed in the unit: Jeppesen VFR and IFR airport and approach charts as well as ICAO charts Germany and other VFR charts for Europe.
Using Bluetooth® connectivity via Garmin Connext technology, the aera 660 easily interfaces with compatible devices to cut the clutter in your cockpit and improve your flying experience. With a Garmin GDL® 50 portable ADS-B/ receiver or GTX 345 all-in-one ADS-B transponder, you can access and display ADS-B advanced traffic alerts It even allows wireless control of Garmin VIRB® action cameras to start and stop recording and capture photos. With optional cables, it can be connected to Garmin on-board devices such as GTN 650/750 and GNS 430W/530W to exchange routes. When compatible Garmin NAV/COMs are connected, frequencies and airport IDs can be passed from the Aera 660.
