So it may be a configuration issue if it works for some and not for others.

The application that runs on your ipad is an application that can get it's GPS source from anything it's been designed to. So in the case of ifly or flyq or whatever, they know how to get the GPS position from the ADS-b receiver using the same connection it gets traffic from (wifi). The ipad itself, and it's built in applications use the internal gps if there is one, or a bluetooth GPS (like a bad elf). If the ipad is talking to an external GPS over bluetooth, it can export that data to any application. So if you are fine with only having the GPS data when you are using a compatible app and ads-b receiver at the same time, then you can get away with a wifi only ipad. If you want GPS for anything else, you need to get the internal gps model or use a iOS supported external GPS. If I had an airplane dedicated ipad, and the app I was using supported getting gps from the asb-r receiver I was using, I'd probably just get the wifi model. Right now I'm using flyq and a stratux. When in flight the flyq app ignores the internal GPS and uses the one on the stratux because it's much more sensitive than the internal one on the ipad. schu |

And to confirm what WingX told me here's uAvionix' answer:
Hi Carlos, Thanks for contacting uAvionix about your ADS-B needs for your RV-8. The echoUAT is a prefect solution for your aircraft and tablet. You do not need the Cellular model. The WiFi only ipad will get the GPS location along with the Weather, Traffic, TFR and other data via the WiFi connection from the echoUAT. WingX is compatible with the echoUAT and I've personally used this setup extensively with a WiFi only iPad Mini. I hope this helps. Please check our our echoUAT / skyFYX GPS bundle here https://uavionix.com/products/echo-uat/ . Order yours today and put the 2020 Mandate behind you. Please let me know if you have any questions or need assistance with getting your echoUAT on the way. Thanks, Shane Woodson uAvionix Corp. |
Shane, any updates on the disappearing targets. It happens to me on occasion.
Thanks, Bob |
