Changing RPM Display on Garmin Glass Cockpit

Post by Howl Yes 242 »

Is there a way to change the RPM increment from 50 to 1? When I bump the throttle up or down the RPM changes in blocks of 50 (750-800 or 3800-3850) and i’d like it a bit more refined.

I believe you can set it to show the actual raw number. I like the 50 increment myself.

The glass panel can only display what the EVC provides. Read what the EVC is reporting on its display.

I just chatted with Garmin and they said there is a setting for RPM rounding and to turn it off. I will try that this weekend.

You might like it better rounded to the nearest 10 if not the nearest 50 100 - I wonder if that's an option? The idea of having precision to the point of not being meaningful seems almost distracting - I'd rather see 3500 or 3520 than 3523.

Increments of 10 could be really beneficial, good call.

I went through the steps the Garmin chat gave me and no joy. The option was not available in my Garmin unit to deselect RPM rounding.
