Hello.
I am weighing the choice between using an existing Garmin GNS-430W unit as my ADS-B WAAS source vs. buying a stand-alone ADS-B WAAS GPS antenna.
Adding a serial data wire to the Garmin's rear connector would cost less, but I have some concerns about the lack of redundancy.
If the GNS-430W needed to be shut down, I would be losing more than just primary navigational GPS data.
What are your thoughts on flying with a single-source GPS WAAS device vs installing a stand-alone ADS-B WAAS antenna?
Thanks,
Dale
