how to make my navs play nice...

[DKirkpatrick]

Hello. Have a Garmin Aera 660 that I'd like to make bluetooth connection with a Garmin GPS175... would like to be able to get flight plans back and forth from the two... AND traffic. I use a Stratus 2s that I THINK is traffic indication capable, but really uncertain. My transponder is a Garmin 330es for ADSB out. So the question? Should the G660 bluetooth to the GPS175 and I'm just too ignorant so far to do it? Help much appreciated! THANKS —dan

I have the 660 blutoothed to a gnc355 ( same with your 175) - love it! the Stratus will NOT show traffic, you'll need a Garmin adsb in.

forgot to clarify; flight plans happily go back and forth between the two - set it up on both devices - the icon on the 660 is called connext and it'll 'walk you through' the procedure. Can also send flight plans to/from iPad WITHOUT needing any thing else (e.g with a Garmin 650, you would need a $1500 wifi data card, but with 'our' relatively cheap 175/355, this feature is enabled for free in them!)
