Integration with stec and garmin 430 question.

[dico]

Hello,

I am wondering how the new flight planner integrates with my current garmin 430 and stec ap. I currently don't have a sky view system but I am considering one. Right now I program my multiple leg flight plan (say an fir flight from JFK to ORD)... There might by 10 legs in the garmin which drives my ap with gpss. Will this new flight planning tool allow me to program my garmin box from the sky view? Or will it simply take the flight plan and display it on the sky view? Also, can the sky view direct my stec ap or will take still have to come from one of the steam gauges?

Thanks,

Dico

Today, there is no cross-filling of flight plan information between SkyView and other systems. If you have a flight plan in your 430, though, it can provide HSI guidance on the PFD display. SkyView's map page currently only displays guidance from its own "direct-to" or flight plans.

However, we're investigating whether we can receive flight plan information from devices such as the 430 to display their flight plan legs on SkyView's map pages. It's not a guaranteed feature, but it's on the list to develop, subject to those other devices' capabilities.

My panel has a Garmin 430, a 396 as well as the 10” Skyview. The 430 crossfills the flight plan waypoints and position to the 396 flawlessly, (great feature) both are set to aviation data through a single serial connection. The only problem is that when the 430 is powered up, you cannot use the 396 independently and takes several keystrokes to stop the crossfill.(maybe someone can show me an easier way) So Dynon, as you design the UI, please make it easy to turn this feature on or off, (top level menu toggle).

Try a small switch to open the serial line from the 430 to the 396.

Thanks Greph, I had actually done that and that works great. I was just trying to get Dynon to think about how to toggle it in the skyview as they write code for the crossfill. I would not want to put a toggle in the 429 circuit as it would disable other functions that also use the 429 like the HSI. However on the 396, nothing else is affected so it works great.
