Re: GPS Status = ADS-B

All of those are correct - you're getting GPS reception from your ADS/B receiver, but can't get any info bc you're out of range of a tower.

Re: GPS Status = ADS-B

Don,

Ref. you not seeing the warnings...do you select these boxes when you set up your custom panel on the screen?

I was able to "select" those from the fabulous iFly menu and have them right up front so I can assess and evaluate the fidelity of the signal, and thus the information. (Thanks for giving us so many options, iFly!)

I consider those among some of the most important data boxes I place on the panel.

Mike maybe I mis-stated (or overstated) what I hadn't seen. It was only "TOWER IDLE" and that was probably just beause I didn't notice it. I usually use two iFlys in flight, a 740 and an iPhone,, and both of them usually display the ADSB and the GPS instruments. I agree that they're important. And of course I appreciate iFl's many options, too.
