ForeFlight Mobile Announces Connectivity with Garmin Avionics
ForeFlight, a popular flight app for pilots, announced connectivity with Garmin avionics, broadening the flight planning, in-flight, and connectivity capabilities available to customers.
ForeFlight Mobile now connects to the Flight Stream 210/110, Garmin’s Bluetooth® wireless gateway, and displays the full suite of ADS-B weather and traffic information received via the GDL 88/84. The Flight Stream 210, with its internal attitude sensor, powers ForeFlight’s Synthetic Vision and adds a backup attitude capability with dynamic pitch and bank information. WAAS GPS position information from GTN™ 650/750, GNS™ 430W/530W navigators, or GDL 88 with an internal WAAS receiver can also be used to power features like ForeFlight Mobile’s moving map, geo-referenced approach plates, and taxi diagrams to enhance situational awareness in the air and on the ground. Additionally, flight plan transfer capability is currently in development and will be available in a future app update.
Support for Garmin Flight Stream connectivity is available with ForeFlight Mobile 7.2, now available for download at the App Store. For more information, visit foreflight.com/connect.
