ArtVandelay Posted July 24, 2023 Report Share Posted July 24, 2023 Aah, ok. But my iPad has only one connection to the FS510.That’s why I ask about the Flightstream, it should handle both kinds of data streams.Check the connection type to FS510 is ConnextX (I’m assuming the 210 and 510 have same functionality, with the 510 also having database updates).Maybe the FS510 needs to have its settings changed?

RoundTwo Posted July 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 Initial problem fixed by deleting BT connection on the iPad and doing a fresh connection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everytime I’ve had a problem, it was always an iPad issue. Same with iPhone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtVandelay Posted July 29, 2023 Report Share Posted July 29, 2023 I’ve tried the flight plan transfer from iPad to G3X, no joy.My GTN flight plan was empty.There’s not even the connextX symbol on the Garmin Pilot flight plan page to attempt it. When I switched to internal it gives me the warning that the flight may be updated and I can transfer the flight plan. If I switch back to external after transferring the flight plan it removes all waypoints and is empty just like the GTN.I went through the configuration menus on the G3X and didn’t see any pertinent options. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can go screen by screen for comparison. I’m sure you can teach me a few things too. Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckI think I figured it out, well sort of.The old GTN has a setup page to configure External FPL crossfill, the Xi DOESN’T, or as least it’s not documented. The only reference is in the error messages, which seems to confirm this:If it was supported they wouldn’t tell you service is required,they would point you to the setup section. The GTN does have an External FPL crossfill setup, I need to go to the hangar and see if it’s an undocumented option.Do you have an Xi or old GTN?I can’t believe Xi has less functionality than its predecessor.

Pinecone Posted July 30, 2023 Report Share Posted July 30, 2023 It may be supported, but may need a dealer unlock card to get to the setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did your installer fill out the configuration log in the maintenance manual and give you a copy? The maintenance manual is available on Garmin’s website.
