Am getting some questions from customers to integrate adl to new Garmin GTN’s or G3X. Any chance for this?
That is all possible. The way it works is the Garmin installation must be ADS-B in capable. In practice this means GTX345 or the rare GDL88 must be installed for GTN or G3X (or G1000 and others). The G3X is a nice exception. It can also work with the expensive GTX345 but it will also talk to the much cheaper GDL39(R) GDL50(R) GDL52(R) devices.
On the ADL side you will need an ADL140 / 150(B) / 190 / 200 plus the additional ADLS1G box. Or as a portable solution the ADL180B will also support this feature.
This video shows how to configure all this using a GPS695 + GDL39 combination on the Garmin side:
Yesterday I got another proof how one has to have full understanding of meteorological conditions before analyzing radar and IC images in order to come to correct conclusion about the weather.
Getting an image like this in convective weather would probably be a big no-no for fly through while actual weather was pretty benign with some light icing at FL100 and above (easily handled with TKS) and some rain below and practically no turbulence.
An interview I’ve done with @Sebastian_G – A real must watch if you are wanting to explore Europe, more safely and efficiently thus improving your despatch rate.

This is an excellent video!

Thanks for watching Peter. Glad you enjoyed it.
If anyone wants to read the interview, I’ve also typed it out on my blog (To the best word for word) if you don’t watch the vlog.
The ADL150 I have is the best money spent on my plane, along with TKS
Even if I only used it for metars and tafs, it would be worth it.

Definitely. I added using it to my checklist – before sending flight plan to panel I send it to ADL and download latest weather info. On longer flights if everything is ok during the flight I just download METAR one hour before reaching destination.
Can an ADL fill a flight plan to a Garmin GNS like a Flighstream 210 would? That would be great icing on the weather cake…

Unfortunately not. The RS232 line which outputs the flight plan from a GNS/GTN unit is one way only. The only way to get a flight plan in the GTN/GNS is a flightstream and then Garmin Pilot or ForeFlight as the sending app.
Reviving this thread. I upgraded recently to an ADL190. I wired the ADL into GNX375. The ADL transmits irridium FIS-B to the GNX375. METAR and TAF can be retrieved over the GNX raw data. I can download GNX flight plan to the ADL then it goes wireless to my Tablet. I use the autorouter to Garmin pilot to pump the flight plan in the GNX. It all works. What can be improved as a suggestion to Sebastian ( if technically possible) is the METAR interface in ADL. You need to manually type these METAR stations in the APP. It’s cumbersome and you need to know which ones produce valid METARs along your FPLN. It would be great if the ADL has an option to automatically sent ALL METAR TAFs within the FPLN corridor automatically. This would make using the RAW data FIS-B interface in the GTN, GNX much more useful.
