Hello,
My 2017 MTO has arrived and the build should start soon. I am wondering what the overall thoughts are on portable GPS units that can connect to ADS-B in/out. I have never used any of them so I am bit clue less and a lot overwhelmed with choosing the best option. I like the idea of an iPad because well it is an iPad. Should I find I do not like it in the cockpit it can be used for many other tasks like reading the Rotary Wing Forum :lol:. However, I understand they are generally not bright enough for daylight flights. Having used Garmin car GPS's in the past gives me an idea of ease of use and quality that I hope I can expect from the Area 660. That said I hear a lot of positive chatter about the iFLY models and how they are more affordable. Also what are the thoughts on touch screen verses buttons during in flight use? Interested to hear about others experiences and opinions on current devices on the market.
Thank you for all of your support!
