i-pad/XM Weather

[ultrarunner]

Not trying to be an A$$,

Too late

...I think XM weather is such a great tool, it's worth paying for a correct install on a proper display. JMHO

Ok, define that and I'll be sure to get right on it.

I plan on getting one. Just doubting it will ever get XM through it.

Bleeds, the GNS GPS receiver is only to get position information to your iPad. NOT XM weather.

WxWorks is making an additional interface box that will allow it's EXISTING WXWorx bluetooth box to talk to the iPad.

The WXWorx box has it's own antenna that talks directly to the XM satellite, while the GNS receiver receives data from the GNSS system.

Two separate issues.

Hard mount, hard wired or new MFD that can display WX.

I didn't know you loved your IPAD that much But, the way you described one pilot looking at their position on one IPAD, while the other shows the WX on the other IPAD.... sounds like it COULD be a problem.

 

[ultrarunner]

Ahhh, I see. I think we'll be ok.

Thanks,

Ultra

Hey LJ45,

Because it's hard mounted and hard wired, does that you mean that you play with it less?

so send you the bill for all that?

safety is expensive and most all operations will use the oldest pennies they have.

you must be new to aviation.

WingX with inflight weather I haven't looked at this too closely yet but maybe this is an alternative. WingX has the terminal charts with geo reference but last I remember they didn't have the enroute.
Ultra, I know the GNS can't do XMWX. I was commenting that I doubt it will ever have the capability to do it. Sometimes it just requires someone to throw the right switch.

Bleeds, WingX WX is going to use the same XM Weather hardware solution that is provided by WXWorx that brings the data to the device.

And you are correct, do not ever expect a GNSS satellite receiver to have the capability to downlink data from XM's satellite. Completely different systems.

No, what I was getting at was... it was described as a possibile setup with one Ipad showing weather and the other showing GPS. I just see two pilots looking at Ipads too much comparing postion options. JMHO...relax guys!

No... I'm not new look at my profile...it's real! Aiming for high standards and the best equipment is what we SHOULD do right? I understand we can't always have that buddy, thanks for the dig.
