 |
|
I am wanting to add an autopilot to my plane. All the current units for experimental aircraft require a GPS to drive the system (so it knows where it's at). I use the AnywhereMap system with a Fujitsu tablet which has no output (NMEA). I read on the TruTrack web page that for non-GPS equipped aircraft they can supply a Garmin 35-HVA GPS receiver to drive the system. The 35-HVA works on 6-40 volts and has three wire leads (to be hardwired)...a positive, negative and the data line. TruTrack gets $175.00 for this receiver. I am looking for a less expensive alternative.
I can purchase any number of GPS receivers for less than $50...and actually already run two Bluetooth units in the plane (running two AnywhereMap systems). Does anyone have any suggestions on how one would tie in a generic GPS receiver? Thanks!
