I've used the ipad with GP a bit now. As long as your sunglasses are compatible (or not being worn), screen visibility is fine. Am getting used to features, and how to use GP and liking it. Very nice to have sectionals built in, not to mention all the other info. I'm pretty much a VFR flyer, not sure I would totally trust the AHRS. Seems like I hit the "Reset pitch and roll" button alot, and I get a little nervous when I receive a newsletter pointing out the bugs that have been recently fixed. And my usual whine about sensitive touchscreens in the bumps. Brian, do I understand you mounted your gdl 39 under the panel? I was thinking similarly, need to pursue availability of antenna cable. Not ready to part with Sirius weather, yet. I've been driving around with the ipad and GDL 50. It's interesting I can be parked at the Air Force Academy overlook watching "Shark" training traffic on the screen, between a couple big airports, and not receive an ads ground station, yet many places in Colorado central mountains are in range. I read there is an augmented system in parts of the west to account for poor radar coverage.
