Dual XGPS170D GPS + ADS-B Receiver Overview:

Get the free FAA ADS-B Weather and Traffic Information in the Cockpit with the Dual XGPS170D 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 XGPS170D 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 XGPS170D 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 XGPS170D can also receive ADS-B position reports directly from a nearby aircraft operating on 978 MHz and 1090 ES.
3. The XGPS170D 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.

Useful Status Tool App
Similar to the popular XGPS150, the XGPS170D 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 XGPS170D 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 XGPS170D 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 XGPS170D 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 XGPS170D 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 XGPS170D 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 XGPS170D 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 XGPS170D 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 XGPS170D works with most apps that require GPS, including apps for car navigation, marine chart plotting, golfing range finders, geocaching, hiking and many others.
