TIS-B/FIS-B, Traffic/Weather Compatible displays
I was ready to jump on the ADS-B bandwagon at Oshkosh this past year until I discovered that I would not be able to display that info on the G3X that I was planning to install. As it turns out Garmin "appears" to want to keep customers locked into the current XM system (which I currently use) rather than giving them the option to switch to ADS-B weather.
As my shop ramps up for ADS-B installations, it appears the biggest obstacle to the install will be diplaying the traffic/weather data and with so many folks jumping on the G3X bandwagon lately, I have to ask, have any of you asked Garmin about their plans for this? And for those of you that currenty have ADS-B installed what are you using to display the info? |

Garmin Protocol?

ADS-B

I don't have ADS-B installed yet but plan on it early this summer. On the Dynon forums, the company indicates that there next major update will be able to display weather from "several" ADS-B sources. They can currently display traffic but not weather. I want both ADS-B IN and OUT so it looks like the Navworx transceiver will be the best solution for what I'm trying to accomplish. If you are only looking for ADS-B IN, the Dynon transponder will cover this base for you. Hope this helps |

If you talked to me at Oshkosh, you heard me say that ADS-B weather and traffic is planned for G3X in 2012. Compatible receivers will be announced in the future, and that's all I can say about it for now. cheers, mcb Unquote: Seems like us g3x'ers will have an option next year. |
GRT Avionics
Hi Walt,
GRT Avionics has been able to see TIS-B/FIS-B data for almost a year now. We have more and more customers taking advantage of this capability using the Navworx product. I can only speak for myself but having "ATC" weather and traffic on the GRT Avionics display (3D traffic coming soon) is priceless. From a consumer standpoint I trust all the EFIS companies will incorporate it. Like synthetic vision, it is nice to have for the VFR pilot and a must have for the IFR pilot. Best regards, Carlos Fernandez GRT Avionics |

Thanks for the correction. The Dynon transponder features TIS traffic and ADS-B OUT. Hadn't had my cup of coffee yet this morning ;) |
