    Subject: GPS Unit
    From: "spcialeffects" <spcialeffects@aol.com>
    Hi all, haven't posted in this section before but am after some advice from some of you experienced people. I'm building a Europa aircraft and have started thinking about my panel. I am going to get a dynon 10" screen instead of the old 6 pack and was thinking about getting another 7"dynon screen for the sat nav. I am also fitting auto pilot both pitch and roll. What i want to know is 1- has anyone used the dynon sat nav system and is it any good and 2- if the dynon system is not recommended what other GPS would work with the 10" dynon and auto pilot system i am fitting? Thanks to all Frank Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=416610#416610

    I'm not sure what your criteria are for your GPS. I have a dual Dynon instrument panel installed, complete with the Dynon VFR GPS receiver. It picks up satellites any time my hangar door is open providing a view of some of the sky. I don't know what you mean by "any good". I also have the Dynon Skyview autopilot installed. You do not need a second screen for the moving map, although more screen space available does allow for a bigger picture. Other EFIS will not work with the Dynon. While the servos are physically interchangeable with some others, like Trutrack, they are different electronically. I'm a ways from first flight, so I can't tell you how well they work in the air. You don't say if you are planning for VFR use, IFR use. What you need depends on how you plan to use it.

    That is a drawback for the Dynons, they will not interface with other autopilots.

    It is also a positive......substantially less money than other autopilots.
