Even though the RV-12 avionics package allows XM weather to be displayed on the Garmin GPS (if you subscribe to XM) I am interested in a system called Sky Radar that uses a receiver to get FAA's DSB data (FREE) that includes NEXRAD, METARS, etc.
The Sky Radar company seems to suggest that the Ipad works quite well with their unit (wi-fi and bluetooth enabled) but I wondered why that should not work with my HP4700 (also wi-fi and Bluetooth capable) on which I have Anywhere Map displayed. I was always happy with XM on the 4700 with Anywhere Map, but dropped the subscription when I sold my RV-6A. Now that the RV-12 is flying I would like to get in flight weather again and the free FAA data system seem appealing.
I asked Sky Radar if their receiver would work with the HP 4700 but got an answer that didn't speak to my specific inquiry.
Your take on the compatibity?
