I fly with a G1000 - be aware that although they are essentially the same, there are subtle differences with each aircraft (primarily with the autopilot and engine). It would be wise to checkout the actual unit you expect to fly with.
I would recommend using the Garming G1000 PC Trainer for the aircraft (about $3.99 on the garmin website). - Your local training organisation may have a copy. (it does require 3d support!)
