Now Compatible with ForeFlight! The new GPS + ADS-B Weather & Traffic receiver features dual band 978/1090 MHz frequencies. Overview Key Features Specifications What You Get Apps Where To Buy FAQ's Manual Firmware ForeFlight Operation SDK Overview The XGPS170D features a WAAS GPS, dual band (978/1090 MHz) ADS–B receiver for weather & traffic information. The receiver works with many EFB apps. It connects to up to 2 devices via Bluetooth, and is compatible with iPad, Android and Windows tablets. The internal battery lasts 5 hours of continuous operation, and the receiver can be charged with the included 12–30V adapter and wall charger. A non–slip pad is also included for convenience. FAA’s ADS–B Weather and Traffic Information in the Cockpit Introduced more than a decade ago by the FAA, ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) provides weather and traffic information to all aircraft equipped with an ADS-B receiver, such as the XGPS170D, subscription–free. The ADS-B weather & traffic data is displayed on a compatible EFB app (sold separately) on an iPad, Android or Windows tablet. The XGPS170D provides the following ADS–B In services: Flight Information Service–Broadcast (FIS–B). FIS–B provides regional and continental NEXRAD radar imagery from the National Weather Service, as well as NOTAMs, METARs, TAFs, PIREPs, winds aloft and other valuable in–flight weather services. FIS–B also includes information on temporary flight restrictions (TFR) and special use airspaces (SUA). Traffic Information Service Broadcast (TIS–B). The TIS–B information is air traffic information obtained from ATC radar and broadcast from ground radio stations. This information greatly enhances pilots’ situational awareness and aids their visual orientation of nearby aircraft traffic.* (*ADS–B traffic broadcasts are only transmitted from the ground transmitters in response to an ADS-B Out transponder operating on your aircraft or another aircraft in the area.) The XGPS170D also receives position reports directly from a nearby aircraft operating ADS-B Out transponders on 978 MHz and/or 1090 MHz frequencies. The removable ADS-B antenna on the XGPS170D allows pilots to connect to an external antenna on the aircraft. (This should be a dedicated, passive transponder antenna that is located at least 3ft away from the active transponder antenna.) Wireless Bluetooth Connectivity to Two Devices The XGPS170D wirelessly sends GPS and ADS-B data via Bluetooth to up to two devices simultaneously. The XGPS170D can be positioned up to 30ft. away from the connected tablet or a smartphone. Bluetooth Advantage over Wi–Fi Because the XGPS170D uses Bluetooth, the Wi-Fi connection on your device is left free for other uses, such as connecting to the Internet (for weather services, flight plan updates, etc.) or to another accessory. There are no hassles with switching between networks and no service interruptions when using Bluetooth connection. Set Up is a Breeze It takes less than a minute to pair your mobile device with the XGPS170D, and the receiver will remember your device and reconnect automatically the next time you turn it on. Built–In Rechargeable Battery The XGPS170D has a built-in rechargeable battery that lasts for up to 5 hours of continuous use. The included 12-30VDC cigarette lighter adapter charges the receiver (or your tablet) in a car or in an aircraft. The XGPS170D can also be charged using the included wall charger, or the wall charger that comes with your tablet. Useful In and Out of the Plane At your destination, the XGPS170D becomes an ideal navigation assistant. Take it with you to the car, on a boat or hiking. Set it for GPS-only mode for use with pretty much any app that requires location information, including apps for car and marine navigation, golfing, geocaching, hiking and many others. (Although the GPS receiver works anywhere in the world, please note that the ADS-B weather signal typically cannot be received on the ground in most places.)

FAQs Tips: Important note about charging your XGPS170D: The XGPS170D includes a smart charging circuit, designed to safely draw current from the power source without the risk of damaging either the XGPS170D or the charging source. For safest and fastest charging, Dual strongly recommends using one of the following to charge your XGPS170D: The included 12–30V DC charger The included 110–240V wall charger or The 2.1 amp wall charger that comes with the iPad (not the small one for iPhone/iPod) Any 2.1 amp charger specifically labeled Made for iPad on the package Other USB chargers, like generic cell phone chargers, will supply power to the XGPS170D, but will not provide enough current to charge the XGPS170D in a reasonable time. The XGPS170D may not charge completely and charging light on the XGPS170D may not turn green. Additionally, we have received many reports that inexpensive, “no-name” USB wall chargers do not charge the device. If you are experiencing long charging times, short battery life, or the charging light never seems to turn green, please try charging the XGPS170D with one of the chargers recommended above. Will this GPS Receiver work with my device? Please see this list of compatible devices for reference. If your device isn’t listed, or if you have any additional questions, please contact us at cs@dualav.com. How much does the XGPS170D cost? $849.99. At what altitude should I expect to be receiving ADS-B signals? It depends greatly on your location. In our area in flat Florida, we start picking up signals around 800 feet. But our test pilots around the US report receiving signals anywhere from 200′ AGL to 1500′ AGL. Will the XGPS170D work outside of the US? The weather information available through ADS-B is only broadcast in the US, so the XGPS170D will only receive weather when used in the US. However, the GPS and Traffic reception features of the XGPS170D will work anywhere in the world. The FAA’s current coverage map for ADS-B in the US is here. Will the XGPS170D work with ADS-B in Europe or Australia? Yes, but for traffic reception only. These areas do not offer ADS-B weather. Can I use a WiFi accessory on my iPad while using the XGPS170D? Yes. Because the XGPS170D uses a Bluetooth connection, you are free to use any WiFi accessory simultaneously. Can I use another Bluetooth accessory with my iPad while using the XGPS170D? Yes. Can the XGPS170D be connected to more than one device simultaneously? Yes, up to 2 devices. Manual Click here to download the product manual.
