For a lot of people, even if you have XM or WSI weather, it's going to be a nice thing because many people have Wx on their 396/496 or whatever, but having it on your EFIS makes navigating around things much easier. On the Chelton, they were ahead of the pack when it came to ADS-B...keep in mind that they worked with the Alaska Capstone project, so they've done ADS-B longer than most everyone. They used a Garmin box I think though because back then that's all there was. So the Chelton already has an ADS-B interface that you can configure on it. I don't know the specs on how a standard ADS-B interface is supposed to look, but I can tell you that when I test flew the portable NavWorx system it already just worked, out of the box. So in my case there really was no work to do if someone just wanted ADS-B. I believe if the Blue Mountain was programmed to be able to utilize a standard ADS-B data stream it probably would work fine. Perhaps that's something that BMA can add to their system down the road?
