Pilots acquainted with the GNS-530 should find it easy to use the model the same way they use their real devices. I'm trying to model the basic functionality and behaviour as close as possible to the real device. I also decided to model the older device, since the newer GTN-750/GTN-650 series features touch-screen operation which I personally strongly dislike. While they have recently been superseded as Garmin's flagships by the new GTN-750/GTN-650, the GNS-530 is still one of the most common primary IFR GPS in well equipped piston aircraft, and will probably remain so for many years to come. The GNS-530 and its slightly smaller sibling, the GNS-430 were among the most popular panel mount GPS from their introduction in 1998 throughout the first decade of the millenium. I don't know what the status of the Bendix/King KLN-89b is, but it would be quite a 90's choice anyway.
The GPSMap 196, while a nice effort, is a handheld device that is oriented more towards VFR pilots. I started to implement a Garmin GNS-530 since I felt that we were missing some kind of panel-mount IFR GPS for GA aircraft. 8.1 Standalone GUI support (loose coupling).If you'd like to help, please get in touch via the canvas forum (see the GNS530 thread). Note Help wanted: People familiar with editing/creating SVG files via Inkscape are also invited to get in touch to help generalize the GNS530 code and to get rid of procedural rendering code and replace it with SVG-based elements that can be more easily maintained by non-programmers.

You may need to install some extra components, use the latest development ( Git) version or even rebuild FlightGear from source, possibly from a custom topic branch using special build settings.
