    Default Garmin G3X Bitchin Betty?

    I recently upgraded to the Garmin G3X in a new carbon cub. Now i get this gals voice constantly yelling at me "Terrain Terrain!!" "Pull Up! Pull up!" and cannot for the life of me figure out how to shut her up. I've read the manual cover to cover and spent several hours on the unit flipping through screen without success. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

    PS My apologies, I realized I posted this in the wrong forum.

    Outer right knob scroll over to Ter. Then push menu. Screen will pop up touch inhibit. She’ll be quiet. Have to do every time you get in it.

    Mine is in an EX2. Wouldn't think there would be a difference but all new to me.

    Thanks 40m. I will give this a try also. I was able to shut her up yesterday but I need to go into the settings each flight. Perhaps this will take care of her.

    My airport KHCR (Heber City, Utah) is in a valley surrounded by mountains. Being constantly warned of terrain was never ending.

    Turning "Bitchin Betty" off permanently was straight forward on my G3X Touch. In Configuration Mode, Sound Configuration, there's an Enable/Disable switch for Terrain Audio. Set it to Disable and "Betty" stays quiet for Terrain. Left Traffic Alerts on.

    Here is the screen that comes up on my unit. I think the certified G3X is different than experimental. Is yours experimental?

    Yes, my G3X is experimental. Strange that Garmin would have different software for experimental and certified units......but I'm sure there is some rationale for it. A nice thing about building an EX2 or 3 is that you're not burdened by all the certification rules. Experimentals had EFDs long before the airlines.

    Stay Well and Safe,
