The unit looks good in the photo. Just curious does the GPS ant plug into the piggyback unit or remain connected to the original connector on the EXP?
Thanks
The one question that has not been answered to my knowledge...:
Will software version 5 work WITHOUT the hardware changes?

Not to be a downer, but, when you all ordered the gps unit, will there be a hard copy document included from the FAA that states the unit will now really, really be in 2020 compliance?
Or is there a promise ?
Ordered mine as well. Im also adding wire to accomodate a recently new to me GTX 327. Does anyone know where to find the navworx "console" to be able to reconfigure the 600exp when i get this done.? I didnt find it on the navworx site. Im removing the transmonSPE. Not sure why, it seem to work fine.
Jaws,
Let us know how the reinstall and functionality checkout go!
The rest of us are interested in what functionality was added / promised but still missing.
Thanks!
I have been watching the NAVWORX site for the promised EXP Version 6.0.0 and 7.0.0 software and haven't seen it. Would like to purchase the EXP GPS fix but wanted to see that the software promised 8/15 is available first.
Next question, has the FAA approved the use of the new GPS and version 7.0.0 software as a remedy for the AD?
Thanks,
Ron
keep the 327 and go with the new Garmin GDL82. Cheaper and problem solved. I would never in a million years recommend Navworx. Not that it doesn't work, but the whole way everything went down the FAA was sketchy, at best.
Hi all,
Can any of you that has one of these confirm or deny whether it works with ForeFlight at all? I got an unconvincing "well, it's an app so it should work" answer from someone at Navworx, however I have been unable to get a response from anyone else there who knows for sure. I'm trying to make a decision on what's next, e.g. GTX-327 now w/ Navworx in a month or two when they ship, or just bite the bullet and go with a more expensive all-in-one option that I know will work. As my current transponder has failed and I need Mode C to fly here, I need to decide quickly.
Thanks!
Just received a FAA Safety email.

It?s not too late to reserve your ADS-B Rebate! NavWorx avionics now eligible!
Notice Number: NOTC7328
Attention pilots and aircraft owners: The ADS-B Rebate Program will now allow aircraft owners with NavWorx ADS600-B avionics, part numbers 200-0012/0013, to apply for a rebate.
To be eligible, rebate applicants who purchased and installed these NavWorx units after September 19, 2016 must comply with section (e)(1)(iv) of the recent Airworthiness Directive (AD 2017-11-11), or use an FAA-approved Alternative Method of Compliance.
The FAA is offering a $500 rebate for new ADS-B installations in fixed-wing, single-engine piston aircraft. The last day to make a rebate reservation is September 18, 2017, if reservations are still available. Once the reservation is established, you will still have up to 150 days to complete the remaining steps in the process.
Are you eligible for a rebate? Please visit faa.gov/go/rebate/ for details.
Questions? For questions about the ADS-B rebate program, please contact [email protected].

As I read his post his current transponder has failed.
If he doesn't mind used, 327's are going for $400., a great deal.
If only new equipment, some mode S-ES transponders are now in the $2K price range, e.g., Trig TT22.
Like you, I wouldn't touch navworx with a ten foot pole. Besides, there are now less expensive options.
The Appareo Stratus ESG has GPS data out. Or do you mean it does not have traffic and weather? I like the fact that the Appareo is just one box, not dependent on other brand equipment. If two different brands are connected together and there is problem, each manufacturer will blame the other, leaving you caught in the middle. I would rather just have one box to fail, not two.The one and only real drawback with the Appareo is lack of an output which can feed data to other avionics.
I would agree if purchasing new. For those of us that already have sunk cost in a Navworx unit, the decision point is a little different for each of us.
In my case it's stick with the AMOC and use my 327 and the 650 as a position source, but risk future software updates may not support the original platform (costs $0.00), upgrade to the new boards and GPS ($600), or install a new transponder (Trig) and an ADSB receiver (Dynon/AFS) ($3,000).
What option I prefer and what option I can afford are different. Just like most things in life.
You don't mention what else is in your panel. That would must likely cause me to sway one way or another on the recommendation.

At the moment basically nothing of note. I intend to put in a 430W and Skyview HDX early next year, but due to my proximity to the DEN Class B, I must replace the dead transponder now to keep flying. However the future integrations also require a bit of forethought.
With that avionics combo I don't see any world where I don't end up with dual wifi networks running at minimum. The Skyview would provide one for nearly everything including VFR plans to the autopilot, but I'd want a FlightStream for loading IFR plans from ForeFlight into the 430, as manual entry is tedious on those. Given that, maybe I care less about the onboard ADS-B wifi capability right now and just run the Stratux for a while longer, and put that feature lower on the list.
So if you didn't place wifi as high on the list, but want fixed-transceiver In/Out with data (ARINC/RS-232) to other displays at minimum, which way do you go? This is where the Naxworx is appealing at least on paper, but obviously they have left a sour taste with many of you thus far.
If you are seriously looking at the Skyview HDX, then I would clearly recommend getting the Dynon branded Trig ES transponder and their ADSB receiver. That is assuming you want to scrape your Navworx unit It may have some resell value, but it's too early to tell at the moment.
Since you don't have the 430W yet, I would recommend talking a hard look at the Avidyne GPS. I'm not up to speed on the HDX, but I'm assuming many of the AFS features will cross pollenate across the Dynon line.
Foreflight works seamlessly with an AFS 5X00 EFIS and the Avidyne product line. You can transfer flight plans to/from Foreflight, as well as the EFIS airdata to Foreflight as well. BTW, AFS also can function as a Wi-Fi client to a Stratux unit too.
My recommendation is to immediately buy a used 327 for around $400 (plus certification cost). If you go a different route in 6 months, you can probably re-sell it for about what you paid for it.
