The PAF team is proud to announce the arrival in git of the Garmin 196 GPS instrument. | |||

The source code is available in the fgdata Gitorious repository. To include this GPS in your aircraft, simply follow [https://gitorious.org/fg/fgdata/blobs/master/Aircraft/Instruments-3d/garmin196/README those guidelines]. | |||
A full howto is also available [https://gitorious.org/fg/fgdata/blobs/master/Aircraft/Instruments-3d/garmin196/doc/doc-en.htm here], while [http://www.flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=15433&p=151735&hilit=garmin#p151735 a thread on the international forums] has been opened. | |||
