Will a standard Windows computer USB WiFi dongle work in a Skyview Classic, or is there something proprietary about the Dynon $35 dongle which requires it to be used instead?
Joe, there's nothing really "standard" about a Windows USB WiFi dongle but I have two of these and they work with my two SkyView D1000s (two airplanes):

While we're on the topic...if it turns out pretty much any old wifi adapter will work...what about the video input dongle? Anybody have any luck with a non-Dynon (read, pricey) video adapter?
They must be formatted as FAT32, which typically, but not always the default. Under 32 Gb works best. I have 16 Gb sticks that I have been using for years and unless exporting lots of data, they are never over 8Gb even with the Seattle Avionics data on them.
Speaking of which, if you use the Seattle Avionics data, there is a special folder structure for that. You can set up the USB for that using their Datamanager App.
The Dynon data file needs to be in the root directory.
