Garmin navigation techniques
Garmin is the Worldwide Leader in Navigation solutions providing. Garmin supply intergrated systems for roads/marine/aviation and for personal usage as well. Wherever you are, you can find Garmin navigation units in all aircrafts from ultra-light till business jets. In Pacific Jet we have a joke that "quantity of Garmin devices in our Company is much more than iphones which we have".
This page contains some demo packs and training videos that can help you in understanding Garmin navigation principles and philosophy. Use these video explanations and examples just in the cocpit for training purposes or together with simulation kits on you computer (in this case just download and install them before).
As an option for initial trainings you can use your Garmin device (aviation family), all of them have a simulator mode. Set up the route, increase the speed and keep it in the range 50-200kts, set up the altitude according your flight plan. After these necessary steps you can test practically all flying modes: flight plan updating/SID/STAR/approaches/Holdings/Direct To and other functions.

G1000 Glass Cockpit tutorial: Start + Run-up -Real Time - POV flying
Ride along through the G1000 engine start and run-up procedure.
This is a 172 SP with a G1000 and comparing the procedures to the standard "Steam gauge" version of the 172 SP.
editing is minimal in terms of cutting down the time the procedures actually took - to really share how long it takes, which actually felt roughly the same as a standard "steam gauge" plane.

Aero-TV: Up Close and In-Depth - The Garmin GTN 650 and GTN 750 (Part 1)
Garmin's Next-Gen Avionics System Picks Up Where the GNS 430/530 Left Off
The industry has been waiting for years to see the follow-up to one of the most successful avionics platforms in the history of general aviation. Greatly anticipated, and buoyed by an aggressive rumor mill, the Garmin folks spent a considerable period of time with our Aero-TV teams to explain why the GTN 650 and 750 systems represent Garmin's best bet for future cockpits.
These panel-mount units are certified and approved for installation in hundreds of makes and models of general aviation aircraft. The GTN 650 and GTN 750 feature new capabilities for GPS/NAV/COM systems like touchscreen operation, graphical flight planning with victor airways and high-altitude jet routes, remote transponder, remote audio control (750 series only), SafeTaxi and electronic chart capabilities (750 series only).

Aero-TV: Up Close and In-Depth - The Garmin GTN 650 and GTN 750 (Part 2)
(Continue) Garmin says the most notable physical difference between the GTN 650 and 750 is the screen size. The GTN 650 has the same exterior footprint as the GNS 430W, but has a 4.9-inch screen (diagonal) that has 53 percent more screen area than the GNS 430W. The GTN 750's large 6.9-inch screen (diagonal) has 98 percent more screen area than the GNS 530W, which makes it possible to view an entire chart via Garmin FliteCharts and ChartView, as well as display integrated audio and intercom functions (with the new optional GMA 35 remote mount audio panel). In addition, both units display a greatly enhanced, higher resolution picture (GTN 650: 600x266 pixels; GTN 750: 600x708 pixel) that has over 5 times more pixels than the GNS 430W and 530W, respectively.
The GTN 650 and GTN 750 received FAA TSO authorization in March and are STC approved on a broad model list covering most Part 23 fixed wing aircraft. The first units will be available for purchase at the Sun 'n Fun Fly-in, March 29 to April 3, 2011. The GTN 650 is expected to be available at a suggested retail price of $11,495 and the GTN 750 is expected to be available at a suggested retail price of $16,995. The GMA 35 remote audio processor is expected to be available at a suggested retail price of $2995.
