At the core is the question of "What data is in this World-wide terrain database. "? To display what it does, it needs to have MSL terrain elevation, and at least a flag to indicate the nature of the "terrain" at each point, sufficient to paint the "view" to indicate ground, water, and whatever...

Spert, Thanks for that. That is helpful! Charly

Marc, Yes, this is as I suspected. I posted this on the slight chance that there was a menu setting or a setup configuration option, that I was unaware of, that might implement this functionality. In my Berkut, there is no room for a second screen, so I can't use the technique Air Guy suggests...

Yes, I know about Seattle Avionics. Have a subscription and use that feature often. But I have not found a way to display an approach plate on the moving map. Granted, it does display a geo-referenced aircraft icon, but it is not a fully featured moving map. (With the other layers on the current...

Can Seattle Avionics approach plate be displayed on moving map? If so, how? ( for both Skyview Touch and HDX...?

jmeade, I'm now thinking that the comment in the User manual needs to be read more carefully than I did at first glance. The "APT" in the quote from the User manual may refer to the "APT" button on the COM panel, not the APT->COM software button on the HDX. and then, that also explains what...

I was referring to the text on pg 9-14 of the latest HDX Users Guide (RevR) [My Italics] The use of the word However led me to infer that there was a difference in behavior when the Dynon Transceiver was configured as the second COM radio.

On page 9-14 of the Skyview HDX UserGuide, under Dual COM Radios, iin the first para it says that only the primary radio can receive airports and frequencies from Skyview. But in the 2nd para, it says that if 2nd radio is from Dynon, all its control panel features will work the "same way" as...

I notice in the "What's new" area, that the latest release of Skyview (ver17.4) says it has added "... On screen NAV radio tuning now available for NAV radios such as Trig TX56/57..." I am about to add a Garmin GNC-215 to my panel. Does anyone know if this unit will be compatible with this feature?

Rhino, Thanks. I suspected as much, but wasn't sure.

On page 7-79 of the Installation manual, (I have revision AU), it states: I am trying to hook up retractable Landing Gear status indicators. My aircraft uses 1 14 volt main battery bus. Obviously, the db-27 connector on the SV-EMS-220 has a 5 volt output lead (pin 19 I believe) which I could...

maartenversteeg, Thanks !

Well, I received more info on this (related to the last option mentioned above), from Jessica (Dynon Technical Support Engineer). The background here is that Garmin used to have a CDI INDICATOR TYPE selection on the legacy GNC 255A/B units. This format was crucial for the previous Dynon Serial...

Had an informative conversation with Dynon support engineer Jessica on this issue. Bottom line, except for certain specific scenarios, use serial (RS-232) port for the GNC 215. 1. The GNC-215 features that require using the ARINC-429 also require that it is the only COM transceiver in the...

The GPS-175 obviously has to use the ARINC-429 to connect to the HDX, and the GNC-215 does conform to the SL-30 protocol, so it likely can use one of the HDX serial ports to connect to the HDX. The ARINC-429, however, has two inputs, (A & B), and the GNC-215 also has a ARINC-429 output so it...
