Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Dual XGPS160 SkyPro have ADS-B weather and traffic?
No. The XGPS160 SkyPro is a GPS and WAAS position source only, so it does not receive ADS-B weather or traffic. It feeds an accurate location to your EFB. For in-flight traffic and weather, choose a portable ADS-B receiver from our Aviation GPS, ADS-B and Navigation Receivers collection instead.
How many devices can the XGPS160 connect to at once?
The XGPS160 connects to as many as five Bluetooth devices at the same time. That lets a pilot and copilot share one position source across multiple iPads, iPhones, or Android tablets, so every EFB in the cockpit tracks the same accurate fix without anyone needing a separate receiver.
Does the Dual XGPS160 work with ForeFlight?
Yes. The XGPS160 pairs over Bluetooth and works with ForeFlight, WingX, and most other popular electronic flight bag apps. Once paired, it supplies your position to the app's moving map, giving you reliable own-ship tracking on tablets that lack a built-in GPS chip.
Is the XGPS160 a WAAS GPS receiver?
Yes. The XGPS160 is WAAS-enabled and uses both the GPS and GLONASS satellite networks. WAAS, the Wide Area Augmentation System, corrects satellite signals for sharper accuracy, while updating your position ten times per second keeps the moving map smooth and current during flight.
How long does the XGPS160 battery last?
The XGPS160 delivers more than ten hours of continuous operation on a single charge, enough for long cross-country flights or a full day of flying. It recharges over USB, so you can top it off between legs or run it from a cockpit power port on extended trips.
Do I need an external GPS receiver if my iPad already has GPS?
Cellular iPads include a built-in GPS, but Wi-Fi-only models do not, so they need an external source like the XGPS160. Even on a cellular tablet, an external WAAS receiver adds accuracy and reliability and can feed several devices at once, which is why many pilots prefer one.
