Dont think ADS-B is available for whole US yet
From what I was told at Osh and what I have read ADS-B coverage is not yet available for for most of the midwest, will start to become available next year

I use the Skyradar ADS-B portable receiver with my IPAD2 and have been delighted. With 2 planes, I move it to whichever I'm flying that day. The ground stations are continually being populated and coverage around the country is now pretty good. I'm in East TN and coverage is Excellent here.
I also use WingXPro7 software, but Skyradar has its own software which is quite good, too.
The ADS-B service is free. The Skyradar portable receiver is about $1000. It connects to the Ipad via WiFi. Overall, I'm very pleased, and have dumped XM Wx.
If you're interested in the Skyradar, they have a "sale" til March 15....anyone can use my code to get the discount. It's "NjRhNGQ1".

SkyRadar Screen Resolution
Is the Wx resolution as poor as shown on their screen shots? Seems odd considering the Ipad screen resolution is so much better than this and NEXRAD is as well.

I'm quite pleased with the ADS-B wx service displayed on my iPad by skyradar. I use wingxpro7 app, but skyradar has its own app which is very good too. The skyradar also includes waas gps, so you don't need it in your iPad. Wx products include NEXRAD, metars, tafs, winds aloft, pireps, and tfr's.
I live in east Tn, and coverage is excellent here, due to be nation-wide next year.
iPad screens can be reflective, but shading helps. Pay $1000 for skyradar plus your iPad and it's screen resolution and no monthly fees, or pay $2500 for a garmin 796 with better resolution, XM wx, monthly fees, and use the 796 for that function only. Everything is a compromise. After 6 years of XM weather, I like the new ads-b weather very much.

Antenna's for SkyRadar?
I'm having to fight the urge to grab the credit card and place an order.
You guys using the the SkyRadar, how is the antenna working out? Did you buy the dual or single unit? Where do you keep the unit in the airplane while in use? Any issues with reception?
If the Dynon guys are listening in, it would be awesome if SkyView could support SkyRadar weather info via the USB port, or some other option.
