Hi there,
This was talked about in the last Developer Q&A last week. You can read/watch here:

Garmin G3000 / G5000

Timestamp

Matt - And then, something that I know people are really excited about is the Garmin G3000 and G5000 updates. So we’ve gone again with kind of a ground-up approach to this. You will not be able to tell the difference if you take a screenshot of our unit and the real unit. They look completely the same! It’s wild. Super proud of everybody that worked on it. Even the little animations. It’s just a visual delight to use, and super snappy.

Matt - Again, next-gen flight plan. It actually has two types of VNAV. The real units do have this. They have a more limited version, which is kind of what’s on the [G1000] Nxi. And then theer’s an advanced version which the Longitude has. Everything is split: PFDs, MFDs, GTCs split. You know, separate settings. I know a lot of people have been asking for user-defined waypoints, especially in the Nxi. We did develop the tech for that finally and that is going to be in the G3000, and we will be porting that back to other units, as we go forward in the future. Future aircraft and avionics updates. Again, the full GPS simulation. We’ve got RNAV support, waypoint pages, all that stuff.

Matt - And one of the cool things is, we’ve got plugin support for developers that want to use the G3000. They can actually get into this by loading a separate JavaScript plugin and they don’t have to fork the code. We just kind of load up their stuff, and it will slot right into the engine instruments, to the GTCs, each screen, all that stuff. Super cool.
