Skyradar is compatible with the Ipad and WingX. Navworx apparently works with many panel mounted displays and can be equipped with a WiFi module. Freeflight also has units. Just started looking in response to your question- there seems to be many options out there. I may go for one of those myself- the monthly XM fees add up and it wouldn't take long to pay for a unit. -Bill Wade -----Original Message----- From: jeffrey liegner Sent: Friday, December 30, 2011 12:07 PM To: lml@lancaironline.net Subject: [LML] Inflight Internet for iPad Weather via WiFi Hotspot LML iPad Users, I understand that the iPad has access to current weather via WiFi and 3G services, displaying NexRad. But in the cockpit at altitude, this is not available (limits of cell service). The XM providers and their Blue Tooth devices are not compatible with iPad, and (no one yet) has developed the adaptor (ex, Baron Services). https://www.baronservices.com/aviation/inflight As an alternative to XM weather service, is it possible to have internet service in the cockpit, much like the airlines have (on some planes) for passengers? Creating a WiFi hotspot with internet up/downlinks would not only give weather to the iPad, but also give browser and email service. Is satellite internet and WiFi hotspot not feasible in our small planes? Jeff L LIVP -- For archives and unsub http://mail.lancaironline.net:81/lists/lml/List.html
