FlyingMonkey Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 It's free to use if you have their GDL-39 3D, or you can enable it (presumably without AHARS data) with a VFR premium subscription. I only have a D-100 EFIS, this is starting to be tempting if the GDL-39 is going to give me weather, piggy backed (and pretty weak) traffic, AND synthetic vision... http://garmin.blogs.com/pr/2014/02/garmin-pilot-app-adds-3-d-synthetic-vision-capability.html#.UwYkxmJdVX9 It seems like only a matter of time before somebody makes a WiFi dongle that fits on your EFIS data port and exports real time flight data, turning an iPad into a full featured EFIS with real airspeed and altitude indications.

Of course you still need an existing EFIS to make it work, but if folks can get Skyview-like information for the cost of an app and a dongle, I think many would do it.
