Thank you so much for the responses. I currently am not receiving aero-electric posts for some reason but was able to read what you said off of the forum web-site.

It seems like every time you turn around, you need GPS location input to make something work.First it was for moving map EFIS - OK - had a small hockey puck blu-tooth GPS receiver - worked great.Then ADSB comes along - need a WAAS GPS. Went the uAvionix SKYFYX-EXT/echoUAT route. Was actually able to get the GPS info off of the WIFI the echoUAT setup. Runs the adsb AND the Foreflight app running on the iPad.Sweet.This year I hope to finish the build on the Wittman Buttercup I have been building. Because of where I fly, it will have adsb plus a new 406Mhz ELT - which is supposed to have GPS position input!I’m not familiar with RS232 usage (that’s used between the uAvionix GPS receiver and the echoUAT) but it would be nice to share/use that data-stream instead of adding yet another GPS receiver.Is that possible? What about tapping into the WIFI GPS position data being generated by the echoUAT?I know, I’m probably way out to lunch on this - but it seems there ought to be a better way.What say you?Dave LamphereWittman Tailwind N365DLWittman Buttercup N365ED
