See what you've been missing! Get traffic information on your Garmin GPSMAP
396/496 straight from your
Zaon XRX and
without the need for TIS coverage. Zaon and Garmin have teamed up to provide
highly-accurate traffic information overlayed on the same screen you've been
looking at.
Available for both portable and hard-wired (experimental/homebuilts), hooking
up an Zaon XRX
to your 396/496 is simple and easy. The XRX has a built-in serial port and
Garmin interface protocols that, when connected to the 396/496 serial port,
provide traffic information that the Garmin can read and display on the moving
map and in other ways.
TCAS-style Icons and Info
Similar to weather and terrain info and alerts, traffic information is overlayed
directly on the moving map display. Garmin displays traffic position information
in the form of white open diamonds (no threat) and yellow closed circles
(threat). The traffic's relative altitude is also displayed next to the traffic
icon. For example, an aircraft 400 feet above would be displayed as +04. The
climb or descend trend is also displayed as either an up or down arrow.
Traffic Alert!
If traffic becomes a threat, as determined by the 396/496, several things
happen. A traffic pop-up screen in the lower left corner of the display will
appear, regardless of which screen you are looking at. This is helpful if you
have switched to the glass panel screen and aren't looking at the moving map. In
addition, a female voice from the 396/496 will announce "Traffic Alert" and the
unit will beep. This is independent of the voice and beep alerts the XRX unit
generates, which can be used as an alternative traffic alert source.
No, it's not TIS
If you are familiar with TIS information displayed on the 396/496, then what
you'll see from XRX is similar, except you will never get the "Traffic not
available" alert... you are always in XRX coverage! To receive TIS information,
the Mode S transponder must be in a TIS broadcast environment, which is
primarily around major metropolitan areas. Outside this area, TIS information is
not available. The XRX Mode C-based system receives and processes information
independently of any service and can send traffic information to the 396/496,
even if you are not in TIS coverage.

ressearch before buying
by craig from portland OR USA
Review: I cannot rate or review the product at this time, due to the fact my ZAON version 2.3 is incompatable with the Garmin 496. I must now invest another $300+ to upgrade to version 3.0 or better. Nowhere in any of the adds I've seen has there been anything said that you need the 3.0 version to interface with the Garmin 496. Thank You for this opportunity to voice my opinion.

Help your SA with this
by Thomas from Menomonee Falls WI USA
Pros: Easy to use, only one power source for both units
Cons: None
Review: This cable was good on two levels. First, it was very easy to connect the Zaon XRX to my Garmin 496. This allows you get the information on your map where you want it. It gives you a picture of conflicting traffic now, really helps maintain your overall situational awareness. Second, you can run both units off one power source. This is especially important if you have limited plugs and it cuts down on cables in your cockpit.
