iFly GPS Forum

Guys,

I have an iFly 740 and the Ping RX ADSB  that plugs into the USB port. When I am flying I see arrowheads that seem to be other aircraft and a number close by that might say +8 or + 42. Can anyone tell me what these number are. Are they relative to my altitude, realative to sea level altitude ot what?

Thanks,

Jim Mantyla

So the +8 means they are 800 feet above me?

Thanks,

Jim

Speaking of the Ping, I have an old one connected to my 740 by USB cable.  As of late all the altitudes displayed seem to be way off by thousands of feet.  As an example I was flying near my buddy who was at 4500' and it was displayed on the 740 as 8400'.  I have not kept up on the forum until now reading all I can about the Ping Buddy but apparently it has been discontinued and is no longer supported.  Would this have a factor in the erroneous altitude reports?  Is the Ping Buddy now worthless?

I wished I had known this as I just installed a Garmin GDL 82 (ADS-B out) and probably would have gone with the uAvionix echoUAT in/out bundle.

Thanks
