In chapter 25 of the installation manual, the serial port output format is indicated. In the ADAHRS, fields 28 and 60 output Pressure Altitude and Density Altitude, respectively. I request that GPS Altitude and AGL also be two of the output fields.

We know that the Skyview system KNOWS both GPS Altitude and AGL, as it can display AGL on the map (red, yellow) and the GPS altitude in the MAP INFO column, as well as displaying an actual AGL # in the Map Pointer Information Bar.

Please add these two altitudes as fields in the serial output stream from the ADAHRS.

And just as an incentive to catch up with a competitor, the Garmin G3X system outputs both of these in its serial stream. GPS Data Message field 34, and GPS AGL Data Message field 11.

Do them one better and output AGL in 10 ft. increments, rather than 100 ft. increments.
