Temperatures are reported in Celsius. NOTE: METAR information is only displayed within the installed aviation database service area. METAR (METeorological Aerodrome Report), known as an Aviation Routine Weather Report, is the standard format for current weather observations. METARs are generally updated hourly, but some site are more frequent. Special updates are done as conditions warrant. METARs typically contain information about the temperature, dew point, wind, precipitation, cloud cover, cloud heights, visibility, and barometric pressure. They can also contain information on precipitation amounts, lightning, and other critical data. METARs are shown as colored flags at airports that provide them.

See the AFMS for more information. NOTE: ChartView is an optional feature that requires enablement by a Garmin dealer. Additional features of the GDU 620 include the following: • ChartView and FliteCharts® electronic charts • SafeTaxi ® diagrams • XM ® Radio entertainment • XM Weather (covered in Section 4.7) • Traffic (covered in Sections 4.5 and 4.6) • Garmin Synthetic Vision Technology (SVT™) The optional ChartView and FliteCharts provide on-board electronic terminal procedures charts. Electronic charts offer the convenience of rapid access to essential information. Either ChartView or FliteCharts may be configured in the system, but not both. SafeTaxi diagrams provide detailed taxiway, runway, and ramp information at more than 700 airports in the United States. By decreasing the range on an airport that has a SafeTaxi diagram available, a close up view of the airport layout can be seen. The optional XM Radio entertainment audio feature of the GDL 69A Data Link Receiver handles more than 170 channels of music, news, and sports. XM Radio offers more entertainment choices and longer range coverage than commercial broadcast stations. XM Weather is an optional service that provides the ability to display graphic weather data overlaid on the MFD Nav Map and Weather Data Link pages. The Traffic Map Page shows surrounding TAS or TIS traffic data in relation to the aircraft’s current position and altitude. The Traffic option is designed to assist in detection and avoidance of other aircraft.
