Hi sorry if this has been covered before. I have combed the net and not found what Im looking for.
Background:
I have a single 7" Skyview with the certified SV transponder. I also have a G696 wired into the SV tx/rx. Ipad in a side pocket.
Mission:
I would like to take advantage of the ADSb solution for one of them but would like some advise and guidance.
Observations:
It seems that the SV ADSb is the most expensive unit on the market next to the Ilevil which includes BT, AHRS and other features. Almost every other ADSb module also has BT built in. The Skyview can not receive BT so I guess I see why it not in there.
The GDL-39 unit cost less and has Bluetooth (for Ipad with GPilot) but will have to be wired in for use with the G696. THis would however give me weather and traffic on two devises, both with larger screens. (provided I buy Gpilot app)
The GDL will not talk to the Dynon (they want you to buy their adsb unit) but the Dynon module will feed weather and traffic to the g696.
Questions:
Am I correct in that the Dynon ADSb module will allow me to view the traffic and weather on the or both the 696 and the skyview?
Since the Skyview screen is so small and I need it for PFD and EIS I will probably use the 696 for navigation, so would it be better to buy the cheaper ADSb unit and have it on the 696 (where I will view it anyway if possible) and have the option of adding the Ipad to the mix and the ability to let my Dad in the Cessna use the 696/GDL combo when needed?
Is there a third option i should consider like the ILevil as a stand alone back up AHRS with ADSb for only a few hundred more than the Dynon ADSb module? IF I went that route what devises could display the Ilevil traffic and weather?
Do any of the above options limit the picture by not showing all the available info when compared to other solutions?
Thanks for any who take the time to edumicate me.
