Yes, but a Stratux would work just as well or better for 1/3 the price. Of course, both are just ADS-B receivers, so you will still need a 2020 ADS-B out solution of some sort.

Re: Dual Corporation XGPS170D

I assume you're asking specifically about Windows support. According to their website, it will work with iFlyGPS:

Broad EFB Apps Support
The XGPS170D does not restrict you to just one EFB app. The XGPS170D will work with a number of EFB apps, including WingX Pro7 from Hilton Software, FlightPro / Avilution for Android devices, Naviator for Android devices, AOPA FlyQ EFB, Bendix King myWingMan EFB, eKneeboard, Pilotbrief Optima, FltPln, iFlyGPS, GRT Avionics EFIS, and more. New app compatibility are being released frequently.

I would suspect that the wifi would work with Windows iFlyGPS, but I haven't seen anyone mention that Windows iFly is working with Bluetooth so that's an unknown. As always, if you're asking specifically for an answer from Adventire Pilot, your best method for support is support@adventurepilot.com. If you want to ask the people at Dual, here's their info:

A little birdie told me that if you stop by the iFly booth at OSH, you can pick up a Stratux kit for an amazing low price. I mean, amazing. (Box, SDR's, antennas, AHRS, etc.)

Or you can order one from this site for $150. That's a pretty amazing price in itself.

I have a PingEFB arriving today to add to mine.
