Bummer, so I'll have to have a separate gps antenna for the 796? It's panel mounted and the internal gps antenna doesn't get a very good signal.
"GDL 39 can provide highly accurate WAAS GPS location information to your mobile device — such as an iPad® — using Bluetooth technology. This provides your device with the precision you’d expect from our aviation-grade navigation devices, updating at a rate of up to 5 times per second depending on the capability of the device used."
Its crazy Garmin will let a ipad use the waas gps and not the 796. I would have been better off installing a ipad in the panel apparently than the 796.
QUOTE=g3xpert;1418485]Good Morning,
It is the other way around, like the GDU 4XX and Aera 660, the Aera 796 will provide GPS position to the GDL 39.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Thanks,
