Per the FAA website ADS-B has been turned on in Florida.
"Pilots flying in aircraft equipped with Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) avionics in South Florida now receive free traffic and weather information on their cockpit displays. This marks the first time that pilots are able see the same traffic information that?s seen by air traffic controllers."

So where can you buy equipment to actually use ADS-B? It doesn't look like any Garmin transponders support it yet. I bought a GTX-330 with TIS but that only will work around major cities. I heard that model transponder may be upgradable to ADS-B in the future but there isn't anything yet. So for us GA guys does anyone know if there's equipment available for ADS-B yet?
