ADS-B position not showing up on Foreflight
 
I have the Tail Beacon installed. The ADS-B performance reports from several flights show all parameters passing. However, I do not show my ADS-B position information including my N number on Foreflight, only my GPS position. I am not in anonymous mode. Anyone else have this? Am I missing a setting in Foreflight? I am seeing other ADS-B traffic.

It?s ok
 
You should NOT see yourself. I never have. YMMV. EchoUAT Safefly GPS, clean reports, 50 hrs running this way.

If you see your own plane while flying, that is typically called ghosting (I think) and it will drive you crazy because if you have Traffic Alerts On, it will scream at you constantly telling you that you are close to yourself :D

If you have a separate ADSB (Stratux) you can use it to see if it shows, but you should not see yourself in the airplanes ADSB out

It?s there.
 
When in the Foreflight map page, press the gear symbol and find connected devices and it will display what you’re transmitting.

You also need to ensure that on your iPad under ?Settings? , ?Privacy? that your ?Location Services? is turned on and ?ForeFlight? is set to ?While Using.?

That is not accurate, assuming you?re using an ADS-B IN device that provides position data.

The OP hasn?t told us what ADS-B IN device they?re using. The answer to that question will determine how much ADS-B IN diagnostics are available via More > Devices. Stratus and Sentry offer the most, with others offering somewhat less data.

Not sure on Foreflight but on FlyQ you can block any N number. If you have blocked you own N number then you will not show, which is a good thing.

Why should you have Foreflt set to “while using “? I looked and mine was set to Always. Not sure what the difference is. Also what causes ghosting and how to prevent it? I sometimes get ghosting. I have an EchoUAT getting gps from a GTN650.

Thanks
