With Navworx more or less off the table for me -- they hiked the price yet again, to $1399, not including all the required peripherals -- and with the FAA B.S. hanging over them like the sword of Damocles, I have to start looking for less expensive alternatives. I fly analog for a reason and prefer it for the type of flying I do. Sport Aviating. You know, the thing the FAA seems to hate now days.
I need to keep my Mode-C transponder. I've no interest or funds available to put $2000 to $5000 more into my panel on a toy I fly for fun, formation, and very occasionally, trips. Navworx was a good solution but with everything required its now pushing $1700 to $1800. Meh. At that price, for me personally, its just not worth it any longer. However, I am stuck on the edge of a Mode-C Vail so I will be forced to get something eventually.
I need whatever ADS-B I get to work with AVARE, an outstanding, easy to use and free Android based app that does everything I need for x-country on my tablet. It needs to work with the run of the mill Mode-C transponders and wifi or Bluetooth to my android tablet. Be nice if it was under a grand.
Can anyone direct me to a system that functions similarly to the Navworx system? A competitor? I was ready to spring for the 600-EXP only to discover another price hike (its now fully double the price since its introduction) and the AD kind of took the wind out of the proverbial sails. Would like to get something in early 2017.
