ADSB OUT is transmitted by your transponder over extended squitter. That is why it is 1090 ES. If you turn off transmission from your transponder (i.e. go into standby), you also turn off ADSB OUT. It's just how it works. ADSB IN is a separate function. Yes, the same box both feeds info to...

A lot of us not only fly at lower altitudes, it is nice with XM Weather to get the weather on the ground, not just when airborne (and 10-20 minutes after you're at an altitude to receive it). XM is superior to FIS-B weather and worth the subscription cost. I too wish Dynon would figure it out...

I have good results with SanDisk Ultra 32GB thumb drives, provided they are not knock-offs (there are counterfeits out there, even on Amazon, so be sure it is actually SanDisk). I have several sets and use them in several Skyviews with no issues. A full set of SA data (everything) takes up...

Sorry, you're still not getting my point. I have never tried to make the case that the issues being seen by some don't exist, or that the Database Manager isn't at fault. I never suggested you should be the one to troubleshoot your issue(s) or anyone else's. I never said, "that there's no way...

Ok, we can end, but I'll end with this thought. The SA software seems to be working just fine, at least for me, while my highly tested and bulletproof iPad seems to have issues. I just can't think of what app to blame. Perhaps it's the one with the crappy interface. I actually prefer to not...

You're not understanding what I said. Perhaps re-read? I'm not blaming Garmin, or their software, or declaring it crap. They have a similar, and tough problem. They too are dealing with multiple data transfer streams, storage challenges, and other functions they are dependent on and have no...

I agree it is consumer software and that it should be as "just plain works" as possible. That said, there remain dependent components to the work it does beyond its control; fully beyond its control. There isn't enough Kevlar in the universe (or retries) to help it recover from a consistent...

Why would you make this assumption? Because I didn't just get on your bandwagon... Here's who I am. I have nothing to do with Seattle Avionics other than being a customer, like you. I love my Dynon's, now HDX's, but previously Skyviews. I maintain several aircraft with Dynon equipment as...

Really. What evidence do you have for those accusations? I'm curious.

Ok, so why does it NOT do that for me and several others. What's the difference?

Als Also, by the way, that link appears to be OLD, perhaps from a bookmark you have? The current live site does not have any aspx links, and the current Database Manager link is https://www.seattleavionics.com/products/Chartdata/.

SO, do you know what "sucks" about it, or are you just blaming it because you are unable to figure out what the actual problem is? My response wasn't just to you. It was to everyone who is having problems they are attributing to the Database Manager. I'm trying to help solve the problem for...

I would suggest your problems may (likely) be related more to your USB thumb drive(s), your computer's internet connection, or one or more of the many other software or hardware components involved in updating your chart data. SA's Database Manager gets blamed for issues well beyond their...

Well, I purchased the lifetime subscription to their charts for Dynon Skyviews back in 2015. Apparently, their offer of a lifetime subscription then wasn't any indicator they were going out of business or "away". It's been almost 7 years now. What a great investment it has been!! I used to...

Ok, now I had to think about this a bit more. I think (please correct me if I'm incorrect here), that the Avidyne products use only vector charts and plates (Jepp sourced?), versus raster image FAA charts and plates. Vector data is more size/storage efficient than raster images, so this would...

Yes, as of version 1903 (Windows 10), write caching was disabled by default (for new removable devices), but before that version of Windows 10, and if you had any removable drives used before that set to "Better Performance" (windows remembers those settings per device if you desire). I...

water flying = the best

I think you're comparing apples to oranges with the 175. Updating the 175 is correlative to updating the Dynon databases. Updating the charts, plates, etc. from Seattle Avionics is adding in hi-resolution images of all of those things, which the 175 does not utilize. Also, a complete update...

Well, if you're suggesting that Dynon shouldn't attempt the creation of some TSO'd avionic equipment because you think it is risky, even though that task and its associated risk you state you don't actually understand, aren't you suggesting they shouldn't have created what they have already...

I've seen other post their wish list items for Dynon, so I thought I'd post mine. Dynon, you guys are great. Hope you'll consider these thoughts (if you aren't already ;-)) 1. Integrated GPS Navigator for IFR work (that is Dynon and not Garmin'$ or Avidyne'$$) - Yes, yes, I know this is a...
