I'm New Here
Doing an installation for G3X that has a GDU 460, G5, GDL 52R and GPS 175 (w/GAD 29) and trying to sort out what relays GPS signals.
The GPS 175 will have an external TSO compliant GPS antenna. The G5 has an internal GPS, so does the GDU 460 and you can add an external antenna to the GDL 52R.
1. If I have all these GPS signals can the GDL 52R get GPS data relayed from the GDU 460, G5 or GPS 175 for when an iPad connects to the GLD 52R via Bluetooth without an antenna on the GDL 52R?
2. Are the internal GDU 460 and G5 GPS antennas good enough or should I plan to add a 2nd non-TSO GPS antenna? In a GPS 175 failure.
3. If I add an external non-TSO antenna to the GDL 52R will it relay to the GDU 460 and G5 as I assume it'll be better than the internal antennas? In a GPS 175 failure.
4. Is the MapMX RS-232 for to/from the GPS 175 just for backup? I'm assuming the GAD 29 is broadcasting the similar info to the Canbus over the A429.
Planned System Diagram for reference. Also asked g3xpert, but awaiting a replay / call. Thought to ask here as well.
