We're considering a Sport 10.1 for a panel upgrade. The website states that the Sport 10.1 doesnt have a built in GPS. We don't need the compliant Saf Fly GPS and will eventually fit a Garmin GPS175 with ARINC. Does GRT offer a less expensive GPS like those in the Sport EX that can be used with Sport 10.1?
For ADSB In we will be using Stratux on a Raspberry Pi that has GPS connected to Sport 10.1 via serial port. Would that GPS data be transmitted on the serial line to the EFIS along with the weather and traffic info and serve as the GPS for the Sport 10.1?
Thanks

GPS for Sport 10.1
Re: GPS for Sport 10.1
We had other modules a long time ago but only the Safe-Fly now.
The Stratux and other standard receivers send some limited GPS data as part of the traffic interface. The EFIS can use this if you turn on SET MENU, Display Unit Maintenance, "Advanced ADS-B Receiver Settings", and then configure SET MENU, General Setup, "GPS from ADS-B Receiver". Note that it can include time, but not date, so it will not fully set the EFIS clock.
