Re: OUR BIG ANNOUNCMENT

I'm with Smoke on this.

Brolin - (I) Folks are not going to switch out their current autopilots for the Levil wireless thing. (II) Levils SW/AW's seems like a GPS/ADAHRS device that could send data to a tablet as a source but I don't see how it could get NMEA sentences such as $APB, $GPBOD etc. from ifly software to a Dynon or Trutrack to make the autopilot follow the course in the ifly navigation software.

You stated you had an NMEA out solution coming for us to sit between ifly EFB and existing autopilots and would be announcing it. It's time - Please do so.

Thank you.

Glad everyone's excited for our EFB release - it was a huge hit with our announcment at Oshkosh.

I wasn't at OSH. I didn't see an announcement on AvWeb. Not seeing an announcement at iflygps.com. Got a link? (Aside from the Hanger Talk video.)

Our announcment was on In the Hangar

O.K., Let me get this straight. If I want to replace my existing 740, which feeds the Dynon unit as well as the autopilot, do I need to purchase this box from Ilevel?

Will a tablet with serial or USB out provide the same info?

Yes. Wifi to the iLevil

Thank you.

I did - and they do have the new LevilAP to install.
If you already have one, then use the Levil3
