Meet the Fokkers
I have a Garmin 430waas GPS, panel mounted Aera 560, and also have stratux/iPad.
The 560 is kind of nice, and is coupled to the 430w, but I really never use the 560 and really want the panel space.
I don't know a lot about the 560 and wonder with the 430w and the iPad, is there really a good function for it?
If the 430 failed, would it still function properly? (I know it's not certified for IFR)..but I don't know how it's connected with the 430 regarding GPS signal, etc. There is a small puck up in the windscreen that I believe is an antenna, but not sure if it's GPS or XM.
I've also thought about removing the Gizmo panel mount, and use a yoke mount instead. However, I don't want to keep paying XM updates, and map updates (on top of the 430) if the iPad/stratux is really just as good.
Thoughts, experiences?
Is there a market for it if I do remove it?
