I have a Garmin 430W, GRT Hor1, and Trutrak with GPSS and GPSVS and switch on the panel switching the source for Trutrak from the EFIS to the Garmin 430W.
Problem #1 I can't get the EFIS to show vertical guidance either on the PFD or the HSI page from the 430W when the 430W is in GPS mode and has a LPV approach loaded. I have the new software update for the GRT which now has GPSV on the menu. Still no joy! Why?
Problem #2 When I have loaded either a GPS or ILS approach in my 430W I can get GPSS commands to my TruTrak if I have the source switched to the 430W but not if I have the EFIS selected. BTW, it is really cool when I have the switch to the 430W to see the auto pilot anticipate the turns and follow directions for procedure turns, holding patterns (even knowing how to enter the hold).
Problem #3 If I have the TruTrak following the 430W as its source with GPSS, I can't set the TruTrak to GPSVS to couple with the glide slope on an ILS approach.
Problem #4 If I am using the GRT EFIS to send GPSVS commands to the TruTRak A/P on an ILS approach, when it captures the G/S it porpoises up and down and I don't know how to set sensitivity on the EFIS to stop this!
