Does Odyssey have NavData support? What about support for ARINC 429 and the GNS 430 ?
-Rick
Odyssey (like Enigma) has or is in the process of supporting the following:
Enigma data formats (all supported):
Navdata, waypoints, routes, airspaces, raster maps, vector maps, airport data...
This is all free of cost and included with free updates. User editable.
Jeppesen
Full Jeppesen support including airport layouts (this is currently in the works).
This is subject to Jeppesen subscription
PocketFMS
This popular upcoming product will soon export to Enigma format. Kind of like Jeppesen but more geared towards sport flying with user maintained database.

ARINC 429 fully supported with our comms extender unit currently in the works (usable for Enigma and Odyssey). Adds ARINC transmitter, three ARINC receivers, three RS232 ports, CAN interface (for Engine ICUs), and two additional USB host ports. This unit also serves as WX image server and interface for USB camera images (rear view, downwards view, IR camera etc).
For those having access to ARINC 424 NavData, our free FlightPlanner will have an import for that soon as well.
Regarding RF products:
In the works:
VHF radio (3 models, first release at Oshkosh)
NAV/COM (2 models expected end of this year)
Mode-S xpndr (expected sometime next year)
These products are stand-alone or in "black box" format using Enigma or Odyssey as interface. All connect to our instruments and can use the existing nav databases for frequencies etc. In case you are wondering, yes they will be affordable.
Both Enigma and Odyssey have built in 16 channel WAAS GPS and all the GPS functionality you could possibly want (and if you find something it does not do - tell us and we will add it).
