Blutooth

It would be wonderful if the Skyview had Bluetooth or WiFi connectivity to other devices like mini iPads.

What kind of data would you like SkyView to share with a tablet?

What kind of data would you like SkyView to share with a tablet?

How about Flight Plans and ADSB Data.

With what application? Unfortunately there really isn't a standard here, and you need your application to support the data as well, so it requires work from both ends.

The Phoenix group would like air data and magnetometer data transmitted to an iPad running iGlide which is a program similar to Foreflight, but for glider pilots. iGlide takes the airdata and compares to GPS data to give wind and glide data to show where you can glide to, how high you need to be to make goal (the airfield), how fast to glide between thermals, and when to stop for a thermal based on it's strength, among many other things important to a glider pilot. A GPS only device is too erratic on glide numbers to be of any use (such as the glide ratio on the Garmin Aera series). The Butterfly variometer has Bluetooth to the iPad running iGlide for this information. It would save us $2500 not to have to purchase a Butterfly vario, and use Dynon air data instead. In other words, it is worth more money to us to have this capability!
Thanks for the consideration, Dynon, and thanks for the great support and help on this site. We don't know how you keep it together with the weird questions that get asked here (like ours!).

Re: Blutooth or Wifi

Blue tooth or wifi so I could load flight plans from foreflight directly to The Skyview would be fantastic.
