Re: ADSB upgrade issues....

You need the later software version (that comes with the WAAS upgrade) to get ADS-B weather. Traffic works with all models. I have a non WAAS G1000 and get traffic just fine.

Re: ADSB upgrade issues....

I have the non WAAS G1000 as well. From what I’ve read and looked up, I will not see ADSB traffic on the traffic page of my legacy G1000. However, the GTX345R is Bluetooth ready, so I am able to see traffic on ForeFlight so long as I pair my iPad. The GTX345R is supposed to be able to pair simultan...

Re: The G1000 project - "The next step"

My request as a VFR pilot.......let me activate Synthetic Vision on my legacy G1000 at a reasonable cost. The capability is already there. Why should it cost $11,000 to unlock it?
