This was very helpful. I followed your suggestions and verified that my 740b is, indeed, getting GPS from the uAvionix ECHO I use for ADSB (it has IN as well as OUT) and has an externals GPS antenna. I was able to do the same thing and verify that my Android phone version of iFly pulled in the...

Yes, the ECHO can connect to transponder via hard wire or wirelessly, and I know the ECHO has good wi-fi capability. Mine has an external GPS and sends ADSB IN data to my 740b without difficulty. I am just not sure if the ECHO specifically sends all the GPS data needed for a moving map (as...

Thanks. I'll have to contact uAvionix about the ECHO capabilities. It does have an external GPS module, but the connection for ADSB in is through wi-fi or blue tooth, (as opposed to hardwire to the transponder.) I'm not sure either would be robust enough to provide full time GPS for iFly

Thank you. Is an extermal GPS needed when you have an ADSB input? I have the uAvionix ECHO.

Now that the 740b is no longer being upgraded, that device is presumably going to fall further and further behind on features. I would like a recommendation on minimum features for a tablet replacement. In particular, is an external GPS necessary? I do have a uAvionix ECHO ADSB. I know that...

The EFB on my Android is version 12.1.6 and, importantly, has "real plan." The version on my 740b is 11.1.22c and does not seem to include Real Plan. I've taken the 740b through the update process. That brought in all the current maps, but did not seem to include a system update. I know the...

A follow-up question: Is there a way to save a flight plan on one device, say my phone, then open it on another, say my 740b. I tried the synch option, so far unsuccessfully.

Thank you, both. This was exactly the information I was looking for.

Is there a way to actually file a flight plan with FAA from the 740b? Alternatively, can a flight plan be created on the cell phone app, filed, then open on 740b? Jim Beeghly
