Adaptable to a full range of instrument formats and functions, the GI 275 electronic display lets you keep the classic look of your panel while upgrading with modern, reliable glass touchscreen display technology.
A dual concentric knob allows pilots to access a variety of key functions within the flight instrument, such as adjustments to the baro setting or airspeed bug. Highly scalable, aircraft owners can start with a single GI 275 and add up to a total of six in a single panel, paving the way for incremental upgrades and an array of individualized panel configurations.
When installed as a CDI or HSI, the GI 275 is designed to accept a variety of GPS or navigation inputs, allowing up to two GPS sources and two VHF navigation sources. The GI 275 features an Omni Bearing Resolver that allows the flight instrument to interface to a variety of legacy navigators on the market without the need for an expensive adapter. With an optional magnetometer, it is also capable of providing magnetic-based HSI guidance. Vertical and lateral GPS, VOR/LOC and glide slope deviation can be viewed on the GI 275. CDI source selection can be accomplished through the touchscreen interface, while course and heading selection is completed using either the touchscreen or dual concentric knob. When pilots replace an older mechanical CDI or HSI, the GI 275 doubles as a modern digital indicator and adds MFD-like capabilities such as a moving map, weather, traffic and terrain.
Garmin is pleased to introduce GI 275, a powerful electronic flight instrument that directly replaces legacy primary flight instruments in the cockpit. GI 275 is suitable as a direct replacement for a variety of instruments, including an attitude indicator, attitude directional indicator (ADI), course deviation indicator (CDI), horizontal situation indicator (HSI), multi-function display (MFD) and engine indication system (EIS). Capable of serving as a 4-in-1 flight instrument with attitude, airspeed, altitude and heading information, GI 275 can also be installed as a standby to a number of glass flight displays and is available with a 60-minute back-up battery. Lightweight and compact, the GI 275 is intentionally designed to take advantage of the common 3.125-inch flight instrument size, reducing installation time and preserving the existing aircraft panel. It’s also compatible with a variety of third-party autopilots and does not require a separate interface adapter, further reducing installation labor. GI 275 has received Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approval and is available immediately for installation in more than 1,000 single-engine and multi-engine aircraft models.

BASIC ATTITUDESave weight and maintenance expense: replace that aging vacuum pump-driven attitude indicator with a reliable solid-state ADAHRS-driven GI 275 electronic display. |
A LESS ARTIFICIAL HORIZONTo add situational awareness, your display can overlay attitude reference on an optional Garmin SVT™ synthetic vision landscape with flight path marker integration. |
INSTRUMENT CONSOLIDATIONAs your primary flight reference instrument, GI 275 features an integrated display to support all the essential readouts — attitude, altitude, airspeed and heading. |

||
EDGE-TO-EDGE DISPLAYThe bright, high-resolution GI 275 touchscreen is sunlight-readable and maximizes the available space within the instrument panel cutout. |
REFERENCE MARKERSThe GI 275 instrument can support display of selectable references to mark your arrival at a preselected altitude, heading or airspeed. Think overshoot avoidance. |
ADI AUTOPILOT INTEGRATIONWith optionally available built-in autopilot interface, GI 275 can provide precise attitude information to drive select autopilots and display flight director command bar cues. |
![]() |
||
STANDBY ADIFor select aircraft and glass cockpit systems1, GI 275 can function as a standby flight instrument with MFD capability2 for mapping, traffic, weather and more. |
KNOB OR TOUCH CONTROLSThe touchscreen on GI 275 makes accessing its functions a breeze. A traditional concentric knob is also available for those who prefer that style of data input. |

NAVIGATION GUIDANCEIn addition to primary magnetic heading reference, GI 275 can accept inputs for VOR/LOC and/or GPS course guidance — along with distance and groundspeed indications. |
TRACK IN ALL DIMENSIONSFor climb/descent profiles and approaches, GI 275 can display both vertical and lateral GPS/VOR/LOC course deviation cues, when available. |
ENHANCED HSIWith appropriate nav inputs, GI 275 can optionally add HSI course guidance overlaid on a moving map display with flight plan legs, terrain, weather and more. |

||
COMPLETE CDI SOLUTIONWhen paired with select VHF Nav radios or GPS navigators, GI 275 can serve as your primary indicator for making, adjusting and tracking course selections. |
DUAL ADVANTAGESWith dual GI 275 displays3 as your primary flight instrumentation, reversionary backup capability retains attitude and heading data4 on the remaining HSI or MFD if an outage should occur. |
DIRECT-TOFor backup or nonprimary nav reference, built-in VFR GPS capability4 enables convenient Direct-to guidance with position depicted on the moving map display. |
![]() |
||
MULTIFUNCTION DISPLAYWhen configured as an MFD, GI 275 can serve multiple roles, supporting displays for moving map, traffic, lightning, weather, terrain, radar altimeter, CDI and more. |
MOVING MAPWithin the MFD configuration, a dynamic moving map page offers views of terrain features, airports, airspace boundaries, navaids, flight plan routings and more. |
TRAFFIC AND WEATHERWith select ADS-B “In” datalinks, GI 275 MFD pages will support subscription-free U.S. weather and traffic displays, including TargetTrend™ and TerminalTraffic™ technologies. |
![]() |
||
ANIMATED NEXRADWhen paired with an optional GDL® 69 SiriusXM® receiver, the MFD-configured GI 275 offers display capability for satellite weather coverage with graphical NEXRAD imagery. |
RADAR ALTIMETERFor applications that require precise tracking of aircraft altitude above the terrain, GI 275 can provide display capability for select radar altimeters, including the Garmin GRA™ altimeter series. |
WIRELESS DATA STREAMINGUse built-in wireless connectivity to share data between the GI 275 and compatible mobile apps. Import databases. Stream weather, traffic, attitude information, EIS and more4. |

||
ENGINE INFORMATION SYSTEMWith optional interface module and sensors, GI 275 can serve as a primary EIS display for piston engine, fuel, electrical and other data. Use dual GI 275 displays to monitor twin-engine aircraft. |
EGT/CHT MONITORINGGraphical display of cylinder head and exhaust gas temperatures allows you to pinpoint the optimal fuel/air mixture for efficient power management. |
LEAN ASSIST MODEThis function of the Garmin EIS automatically checks the EGT of all cylinders and identifies your preferred rich/lean setting to balance efficiency and performance. |

||
INTEGRATED FUEL COMPUTERIn addition to fuel quantity, the Garmin EIS monitors fuel flow and GPS information to estimate how much fuel, range and flight time you have left to go at current settings. |
EXCEEDANCES ALERTINGWith EIS on your GI 275, color-coded pilot alerts/advisories help maintain engine performance and safety. Flashing cues quickly identify out-of-limit exceedances. |
AUTOMATIC DATA LOGGINGEIS data on the GI 275 electronic display is automatically logged and available for wireless Connext® streaming to your mobile device — with automatic cloud storage in the flyGarmin.com® website. |
