I fly in and out of NYC, but my traffic appears on my 530 and the Lynx, if I'm looking at my iPad it's already too late... That's what I mean by don't care. Foreflight is for medium to long range planning/navigation so seeing the weather picture develop for your route is important and thus I want weather integration.

Frankly not sure why I would need traffic on my iPad at all when its on two screens in the panel with aural alerts...

I agree the iPad will become secondary for traffic and weather once I can get ADS-B in displayed on my Aspen and GTN. After I had the WX-500 installed last year, I really like having the information displayed right on the display I am navigating from.

I like weather on my primary GPS navigator for tactical reasons. Ditto traffic. But I also want weather (not traffic) on my iPad/foreflight for the big picture, destination weather....

That's awesome! It looks like the all-in-one transponder is the device that most people will use in getting ADS-B in and out..

According to the guys on Beechtalk, Garmin is supposed to make a big announcement tomorrow regarding a GTX-335 and GTX-345. They will be all in one boxes and will provide ADS-B in and out.

And the Lynx plays just as nice with a GNS430W, Aspen PDF1000, WingX and FlyQ. I am hoping a future firmware upgrade will allow wifi in to download flight plans like flightstream. All the components are in place to do it, except maybe cooperation from Garmin

I don't think I agree with this statement, although I am looking forward to seeing Garmin's new boxes.

I was just saying that since so many people have held off until now, I think the 2-in-1 (transponder plus ads-b out) or 3-in-1 (transponder plus ads-b in/out) solution that this type of transponder offers will be what most people choose. But I could be wrong. .  time will tell. The old type transponders are probably close to replacement anyway and if you can get ads-b in and/or out along with a nice new solid state transponder, that seems like a good solution for a lot of people that aren't interested in a complete panel re-do.

Right now my 540 gets a traffic sensor error every 5 minutes or so, traffic goes away and comes back. Rather aggrivating. I put the 9000 in the right stack, mistake...should have moved something over and put it above the 540. I will probably do that especially if it doesn't start playing nice with the 540. It's only money, damn it !! :-) too much angle and it's a long way to reach and touch one small dot.

It does deserve to be on the top of the left stack

L3 makes a really high quality product. Just looking at the quality of the installation hardware was impressive. Their interoperability and feature list was what convinced me. They set a high bar for Garmin to try to exceed.
