Garmin New Product Announcement Webinar 10/3

Actually that gives me an awesome idea.  Someone with some software bones hack the Garmin trainer app. Push AIRINC airdata from the FS 210 Bluetooth connection to an iPad and display it with the nice Garmin software. Drop the extra $14700...

The AP is 7k and the dual g5’s come in at 5k. The total I come up with is 12k for the parts.

 

Notice the G5 in the bonanza backing up the old G500 pfd?  Also notice the panel cutout around the old G500, probably about the same size as the new G500. 

That's about right - here is what I see listed on an avionics vendor of their anticipated pricing for a C172 unit, $10,899, and I am hearing that other STCs will be priced higher for the same, as the market will bear so they will judge - I will guess an extra 1k.

Still a ton of capability for 12k imo. That AP will be a huge upgrade from the stec 50 I’m using.  I wonder if the 500 will take heading inputs from the Aspen if I install a G5 AI to drive everything else.  I really like everything about the Aspen.

The KI300 will probably be in existence about the time Garmin G5 will talk with the aspen, unfortunately

Why couldn't  have Garmin  just built it WiFi and or Bluetooth it was become as  come as IPads and Android devices in our airplane  cockpit. WiFi is in just about every electronic devices we buy these house thermostats and Refrigerators to Cars. The price of the WiFi  has to almost irrelevant  for price that we pay certified  Avionics these days. I see in a   case of the GNS 430/530  GPS navigators whey were around  when WiFi wasn't cost effective.

What is with FlyGarmin cloud service or whatever it is called the I-Tunes cloud service equivalent for Garmin   which  just about almost all the people  I talk to about I-tunes  absolutely hate.  Why can't be just a simple CSV file   that gets transferred via WiFi  to my Ipad  then we could import it into excel to google sheets or open office.  then anyone can write software for it.  It  is not like Garmin and others don't make  money off us  after sale of a mutli AMU units that get installed in our aircraft. Money is still being may form database updates and os upgrades.

rant rant rant...

Its easy, so they can charge us another 1000$ or 1500$ to get wifi communication between the iPad and the panel mount devices.
