Get the free FAA ADS-B Weather and Traffic Information in the Cockpit with the Dual XGPS170 ADS-B Receiver!

Introduced more than a decade ago by the FAA, ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) provides subscription-free weather and traffic information to all aircraft equipped with an ADS-B receiver, such as the Dual XGPS170.

The portable Dual XGPS170 ADS-B In receiver provides ADS-B weather and traffic broadcasts, to a variety of compatible EFB apps (sold separately), for display on an Apple iPad, Android tablet, or any other Bluetooth-enabled device.

The XGPS170 provides the following ADS-B In services:

1. The FAA's Traffic Information Service Broadcast (TIS-B), which is traffic information obtained from ATC radar and broadcast from ground radio stations. This information greatly enhances pilots' situational awareness and aids their visual orientation of nearby aircraft traffic.
2. The XGPS170 can also receive ADS-B position reports directly from a nearby aircraft operating on 978 MHz.
3. The XGPS170 additionally provides traffic information from some aircraft operating ADS-B Out equipment at 1090 MHz through the ADS-R rebroadcast from ground stations.
4. The FAA's Flight Information Service-Broadcast (FIS-B) provides information from the National Weather Service, including NEXRAD radar, as well as winds aloft, pilot reports and other valuable weather services. FIS-B also includes information on temporary flight restrictions (TER) and special use airspace (SUA).

The removable ADS-B antenna allows pilots to connect the receiver directly to an aircraft's external antenna.

Dual XGPS170 ADS-B Receiver Features:

• ADS-B Weather (FIS-B)
• ADS-B Traffic (ADS-R/TIS-B) - Use with the included removable antenna or connect to the aircraft's external antenna
• Bluetooth wireless connectivity:
  - Connects to up to two iPad devices simultaneously
  - Leaves each iPad free to connect to other devices/service via WiFi or Bluetooth
• Apple and Android support as well as other Bluetooth-enabled (SPP required)
• Built-in Rechargeable Battery lasts up to 5 hours of continuous use
• WAAS GPS also works with apps for car & boating navigation and many others
• 12-30V charger included to charge the receiver or the iPad (can also be charged using the iPad wall charger)
• Adjustable brightness LEDs for day and night flying
• Includes a non-slip pad

Broad EFB Apps Support
The XGPS170 does not restrict you to just one EFB app. The XGPS170 will work with a number of EFB apps, including WingX Pro7 from Hilton Software, EFB from Global NavSource, i1000 from Digital Sectional and Reader Plates and more.  New app compatibility are being released frequently.

Useful Status Tool App
Similar to the popular XGPS150, the XGPS170 also comes with a useful Status Tool App (available free on the iTunes store). The app is a simple utility application which shows detailed device and reception information.

Highly Accurate GPS
The XGPS170 includes a WAAS GPS receiver with fast location acquisition (under 30 seconds), with position updates up to 10 times per second. The GPS location information is wirelessly transmitted via Bluetooth to Apple and Android devices.

Useful In and Out of the Plane
At your destination, take this small and portable receiver with you to the car, on a boat or hiking. The XGPS170 works with pretty much any app that requires location information, including apps for car and marine navigation, golfing, geocaching, hiking and many others.

Wireless Bluetooth Connectivity
The XGPS170 wirelessly sends GPS and ADS-B data to up to two iPad devices simultaneously, leaving each iPad free to connect to other wireless devices via Bluetooth or WiFi.

Bluetooth Advantage over WiFi
Because the XGPS170 uses Bluetooth, the WiFi connection on your iPad is left free for other uses, such as connecting to the Internet (for weather services, flight plan updates, etc.) or to another accessory like an AHRS. There are no hassles with switching between networks and no service interruptions.

Built-In Rechargeable Battery
The XGPS170 has a built-in rechargeable battery that lasts for up to 5 hours of continuous use. The included 12-30V cigarette lighter adapter charges the receiver (or the iPad) in a car or in an aircraft. The XGPS170 can also be charged using the wall charger that comes with the iPad.

Useful Non-Slip Pad Included
The included non-slip pad holds the receiver securely in place on an aircraft's glareshield, car's dashboard, or boat's console.

Set Up is a Breeze
It takes less than a minute to pair your iPad with the XGPS170, and the receiver will remember your iPad the next time you want to use it.

Universal Design for Many Apps and Devices
The XGPS170 is compatible with all iPad, iPod touch and iPhone devices, as well as other Bluetooth-enabled (SPP required) smart phones, tablets and laptops (Android, Blackberry, Windows and OS X devices).  In addition to EFB apps, the XGPS170 works with most apps that require GPS, including apps for car navigation, marine chart plotting, golfing range finders, geocaching, hiking and many others.

Customer Reviews For Dual XGPS170 GPS + ADS-B Receiver: Write a review

Sunday, April 07, 2013 Never got it to work. Never got a response from Dual by Ray Larocque from Ocala, FL  Pros: GPS worked great Cons: Traffic and wether didn't work at all and I was in Fla where ADSB has good coverage Review: The only thing I liked about this unit was the accuracy it gave my IPAD. Nothing else worked and I couldn't get a response from the Dual folks, email or phone. So I returned it to My Pilots Store and got their cheaper version that only does GPS (Dual XGPS150). Was this Review Helpful to you?   Yes   No Friday, March 29, 2013 xgps170 by Carter Boswell from Sahuarita AZ  Pros: GPS, Bluetooth, work well Cons: No ADS-B functions provided via Bluetooth to my Ipad Review: I use the Dual XGPS170 paired with a Mini Ipad that's supporting a Flight Guide iEFB. Generally works as advertised. The small airplane ICON travels across the screen while enroute, so the GPS function works fine. My issue is with the ADS-B features that the Dual is supposed to provide. I don't have any. No Weather or Traffic airborne or on the ground. The light for the ADS-B feature on the Xgps170 doesn't even light up! So it looks like a Dual hardware problem and I can't find a solution. I would appreciate a response from Dual to my review of their product, added to the end of this review. Was this Review Helpful to you?   Yes   No Thursday, March 07, 2013 Success with Naviator android app by Philip from NC  Pros: Good ADS-B coverage enroute; no trouble setting up Cons: Little to no coverage on the ground; would be nice if status lights dimmed at night Review: Had first chance to use this on a trip lately (from NC to upstate NY). Didn't pick up ADS-B anywhere I was on the ground, but quickly started receiving stations once about 500 to 1000 agl. Pretty continuous coverage while airborne, except mysteriously lost ADS-B enroute over middle of Virginia southbound for about 20 minutes. Currently I'm using it with the Naviator app on android - so far that app only supports weather, not traffic. (But that's what I really wanted it for anyway - to see metars and radar while enroute.) For that purpose I'm very pleased. And Naviator's subscription rates are much more reasonable than the other two "big name" apps. Only "negative" about this particular ADS-B receiver I noticed as that the status lights are awfully bright when flying at night. I had the unit up on the glareshield, and finally fashioned a couple of pieces of paper to (mostly) cover up the status lights as it got dark outside. Was this Review Helpful to you?   Yes   No Monday, February 18, 2013 Be Careful by A Customer from Seattle, WA  Review: Used it with the iPad. Beware, it won't give any information other than position on the foreflight, ther reason I bought it in the first place. Not supported in all apps. Also, on the iPad, it cuts in and out at times, at least on foreflight. Feel like I spent $799 for very little advantage, if any. Was this Review Helpful to you?   Yes   No
