For those still considering what to put in the panel, or are considering an upgrade.
I talked to Greg Toman, Head Guru at Grand Rapids Tech, this week at Sun n Fun. The long awaited LPV approach certified GPS is about to go into the beta test stage.
The really good news - NO longer $3400 but is now $750
More good news, NO subscription fees. Simply download the nav data base from GRT to your memory stick, every 4 weeks, and plug the memory stick into the efis.
More good news. No additional GPS is required. The uAvionix ADSB coupled with the GRT 2020 GPS provides the WAAS GPS signal and the RAIM integrity checks. The uAvionix SkyFyx GPS also works but does not have the integrity checks. Some other GPS' may also work but without the integrity checks.
$10-$15,000 for a Garmin or $750 for GRT.
