I just updated to 2.0 and have a SV250 as the only nav driver. Can't seem to get an HSI to come up. I changed the config from GPS1 to POS1 as indicated in the new manual. Does it need a VOR nav input for HSI function to work or will it work like the D100 with just a GPS input?? thx Tom

HSI is a navigational device. It takes you somewhere. But you need to tell it where you want to be taken. On a NAV radio this is a radial, on a GPS this is a direct-to to a waypoint.

The GPS-250 is a position only device. It has no database, and no way to tell it to take you somewhere. If you hooked an GPS-250 to the D100 it wouldn't give you an HSI either, since all the GPS-250 outputs is your current position, not a desired future position.

The next release of the SkyView software adds direct-to flight planning. Technically it can do this from any GPS, including the SV-250. Once you can do a direct-to on the SkyView, then the path to that waypoint will appear on the HSI.

Duh!!, I had a D100 before (in a different plane) and it wouldn't show the HSI function unless a destination was input on the 496 feeding it. Should have figured that one out on my own..thx for the quick reply. I may just hook it up to my GX55 in the interim.
