Comprehensive Review
This is a very thorough and detailed course on the G1000.  It goes from the point of zero user knowledge to advanced techniques and avoiding "gotchas" when using the system.

I love King Schools.  I have been using King Schools since my student pilot days back in the early 90s.  As technology advances, so does Kings Schools.  You absolutely cannot go wrong with any of their courses.
