Will the GPS display on the pro flight instrument panel? I dont see it as part of the 12 instruments.

No, I don't believe the GPS will display on the panels. And I'm thinking they are probably too small and the wrong aspect ratio to be any good for GPS detail anyway.

No. However, if your aircraft software you have selected has an on board GPS, click near the bottom of the receiver and the moving map appears on your monitor. You can select Direct-to and approach functions. I have a Beechcraft Duchess that has a Garmin 430 GPS on its instrument panel. This GPS has most of the functions a real Garmin 430 has. I fly a real Duchess and this simulator provides me with nearly realistic performance.

Pro flight instrument is used to show aviation instrument info.. if you want to show a map with gps location you can export out and show on a monitor

As far as I am aware... no. There are, however, a couple of apps that will allow you to use a tablet or a phone to display a GPS. I have not yet tried this myself and suggest google for more information. I have four of these FIP's and while expensive, I do like having them and do not regret the purchase.

It has GPS, but most people found the software implementation to be seriously lacking. It takes a while to update your position. I've read that this has been fixed in the FroYo pre-release that was leaked, though, so it may be better once the official release hits in September.

Your question is too general for a simple "Yes/No" answer. I assume you are referring to the buttons and switches in the cockpit simulations? Firstly, it depends upon which aircraft simulation you are using - some of them, like the Cessna 172 are well-supported, and others have less complete support. Most of the commercially available plane simulations for X-Plane have very well-equipped simulations Then, what do you mean "do what they are supposed to do". Switches for flaps, and turning on an off lights etc normally are pretty realistic. Some of the more complex GPS navigational equipment is not 100% identical in function to the equipment in the real aircraft, but most normal users are unlikely to be affected by that. Most radio navigational equipment works as expected. Generally X-Plane cockpit simulations are pretty good.

the speed should show in the gps window . dont know if they make a transducer with speed

Yes, or at least yes it can display any of the metrics which are in the main menu simultaneously. There are some features that are not found in the main menu such as distance to empty which can be displayed but it can not be displayed simultaneously with the current average mpg for example. I guess the answer is that the metrics which appear in the main menu which are the vast majority can be selected and displayed (2 at a time) The only one I have wished I could display along with the others and couldn't are the metrics involving "this tank of fuel" such as distance to empty, avg since last fuel up. etc... But trip avg, daily avg, trip cost, and many others can all be displayed 2 at a time, and you choose.

Yes it has at least 2 from what I remember. I used it with my dji naza with no issues. Used it with coarse lock, home lock and the other one (can't remember) and the other 3 position for GPS, attitude mode, and manual

As long as there is a place to plug it in and there is a GPS menu in the setup mode. Check to see if both are present. My 5100 has it. Love the device.

Mine does not. It shows a digital compass pointer and the direction to go to get to the last location.

I haven't found a GPS gauge for it, it does have a VOR NAV gauge, it does connect via USB, you can download additional gauges but they are not required, and it sort of functions with Windows 8. You have to download .NET Framework 3.5 to interface with it for Windows 8 since the software is built for XP (Saitek, for the love of God, update your software). Once you've downgraded your .NET Framework and made it active, the FIPs will work.

Yes you can. As a pilot, I'm using a Jeppesen Application for navigation on my iPad. The only problem is that unlike the Bad Elf GPS receiver, the Garmin GLO does not allow for more than one device to use it so in a two man cockpit we need 2 separate receivers.

You would have to check with Garman the software fur the GPS comes from them

Good morning! I am apologize to inform you that I have never used it for that is particular function. However, the GPS function is astonishing! It has been used all through the US and South America with no problem! I hope this helps!

Thanks for telling me that. I haven't used the GPS much after that time. I think I need to read the manual when I have time. :)

Yes it does...the different units can be selected via the software app. You can also use a combination of Imp and SI units for speed , distance and altitude.

It's a bit pricey, but you have to buy this part for this unit to have GPS. http://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-AVIC-U220-Add-On-Navigation-Device/dp/B003JTHW6O

I'm sorry, but I am not sure. If it does, I did not see it. Perhaps you can call Garmin to find that out.

Yes you can see those items just by moving through the various displays. The odometer is the only value that does not reset manually. It only resets when you change batteries or do a hard reset of the device.
