I think Foreflight has better pre-flight planning, but doesn't really compare for the in-flight needs. WingX has a 30 day free trial. You may consider giving it a try before your Foreflight subscription runs out to see how you like it. -Dj -- Dj Merrill - N1JOV Sportsman 2+2 Builder #7118 N421DJ - http://deej.net/sportsman/ Glastar Flyer N866RH - http://deej.net/glastar/ ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 12:18:44 PM PST US From: Steve Farner Subject: RV10-List: RV 10's- Phoenix Area Hi All- I know there are a few RV-10's in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area, but I have lost my contact information from last year.

You can also hook up an external ADS-B antenna for areas where the coverage is weak. I was considering getting the Baron box to hook up to XM, but this will pay for itself in a year vs XM, and is extremely portable. Traffic "is not supported yet."

The traffic is actually more important to me than the weather. No word from Hilton if this will happen, though, and I'm also hoping we will see lower cost ADS-B hardware this year, maybe at OSH? -Dj -- Dj Merrill - N1JOV Sportsman 2+2 Builder #7118 N421DJ - http://deej.net/sportsman/ Glastar Flyer N866RH - http://deej.net/glastar/ ________________________________ Message 10 ____________________________________ Time: 08:01:20 PM PST US From: Kelly McMullen Subject: Re: RV10-List: Re: AOPA Digital Charts survey My understanding is that Skyradar has had traffic for a year or more.

However, the WingX program only displays the weather. The current version does not display traffic. Yes, if you run the Skyradar iPad app you will get both weather and traffic displayed, but then you'd be giving up the WingX program, which was the whole point of putting the iPad in my plane in the first place... :-) -Dj -- Dj Merrill - N1JOV Sportsman 2+2 Builder #7118 N421DJ - http://deej.net/sportsman/ Glastar Flyer N866RH - http://deej.net/glastar/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rv10-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RV10-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rv10-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rv10-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
