My preference is to avoid Garmin do to their constantly changing form factors. I don't want to have to redo my entire panel when/if I feel the need to replace some minor instrument.
Kinda like Dynon did with the Skyview system?

I am waiting as I believe the FAA will slip the date. Even the USAF is not going to have the money to be compliant by 2020. My guess is AOPA and EAA will use that to delay GA from having to be compliant also due to high cost of the equipment.
OR
I will wait to buy a cheap ADS-B compliant system from Google when Google mass produces them in order to get into the drone market. I am sure if Google is making them for thousands of drones, they will be selling them for far below today's prices.

Default NavworX to Garmin 696

Any way the navworx info can display on a 696 or 796?

Yes, RS 232.... easy wiring to the Garmin Portables.

For limited traffic info. No weather or other FIS-B products.

That link mentions traffic and weather on GPSMAP portables.... or am I mis-reading something?

G3X will ring in soon, I'm sure!

I love that Garmin has watchers here to help us de-clutter the infonet!

Click on GPSMAP. It says:

"GPSMAP 396/496/696 display ADS-B traffic using the TIS-A format"

TIS-A is limited to 8 targets at once, reduced directional resolution, and no N-numbers. No WX/FIS-B at all.

Different issue.

Why can't Garmin make their equipment tray replaceable? When upgrading a radio or GPS, why do you need to remove the tray, shift everything around, rewire it all, and then put it all back together again?
