Transponder and ADSB+ Formats

[rleffler]

After upgrading my GTN 650 to 6.41, there is now an ADSB+ Format 1 and an ADSb+ Format 2.

I checked my GTN 650 tonight. After the 6.41 upgrade what was ADSB+ was changed to ADSB+ Format 1. I’m assuming that since the Format 1 setting worked with my Navworx ADS600-B, is Format 1 the right option for the transponder?

Is my assumption correct?

Any idea why Garmin created these new labels and what are the differences? I suspect that these are Garmin proprietary and they won’t divulge the differences.

I didn't get a response from Dynon, but I did from another vendor.

With 6.41, Garmin changed the name of ADSB+ again.

It's gone from ADSB, to ADSB+, and now ADSB+ Format 1 and Format 2.

ADSB+ Format 1 is what was formerly labeled ADSB+. Format 2 is for a new Garmin product.
