The Dual XGPS160 SkyPro Bluetooth GPS receiver works with all EFB apps on iPad, iPad mini, iPhone and iPod touch devices, as well as Bluetooth-enabled Android, Windows (include Surface) and OS X devices.

An external GPS is recommended even if your iPad has the internal assisted GPS, because the assisted GPS uses cell towers to create its initial fix, and it designed for use on the ground. If you don’t capture a signal before leaving the ground or if you lose a signal once in the air, you may never recapture a signal again.

Just like its predecessor, the popular XGPS150, the Dual XGPS160 SkyPro Bluetooth GPS receiver is very simple to use. There is a quick set up process that includes pairing your tablet with the unit. Once this is done, SkyPro will automatically connect to the device it was last paired with, and you will be able to use it with hundreds of apps that require location information. The WAAS GPS receiver will run for up to 10 hours on a charge, and can be recharged using the included 12-28VDC cigarette lighter adapter, from any PC, or from the USB charger which came with your tablet/phone.

This WAAS GPS receiver also comes with a useful GPS Status Tool app. (Available free on the iTunes App Store). The app allows you to turn on and off the automatic route recording feature, and to export the stored log file information. The Status Tool app also shows detailed information from the GPS Receiver including:

• Your location (or whether the device is still determining where you are)
• How many satellites the device sees and the signal strength of each satellite
• The battery level of the GPS Receiver, and whether or not it is charging
• Confirmation the GPS Receiver is successfully connected to your iPad/iPod touch/iPhone

Awareness in Your Hand
The GARMIN aera 660 Portable Aviation GPS puts the latest Garmin technology in the palm of your hand, and it carries on Garmin’s tradition of creating innovative navigators that go way back to the beginning of handheld aviation GPS. While the aera 660 is light, compact and fits in any flight bag, it is also packed with capabilities. As a dedicated navigator, it quickly and reliably acquires GPS and GLONASS satellite constellations and combines advanced navigation tools with rich, interactive, dynamically drawn aviation maps. And it displays it all on a bright, sunlight-readable 5-inch diagonal capacitive touchscreen display.

The icons on the Garmin aera 660 portable aviation GPS are instantly familiar to anyone who’s used a Garmin GTN™ touchscreen GPS/NAV/COMM, G5000® integrated flight deck or even the Garmin Pilot™ app, and the intuitive interface allows you to quickly pan across the map screen, pinch to zoom and more. Meanwhile, the power button on the top accesses quick settings, including portrait or landscape orientation, volume and brightness. And the Garmin aera 660 portable aviation GPS comes with a snap-in style powered mount for easy transportation between your aircraft and home.

Complete Flight Mapping
The Garmin aera 660 portable aviation GPS comes preloaded with detailed flight mapping, terrain and obstacles alerting, U.S., European and Canadian SafeTaxi® charts and AOPA Airport Directory or optional AC-U-KWIK global airport directory to put a wealth of resources right at your fingertips — including local fuel prices (U.S. only). The graphical Terrain page offers both overhead and vertical profile views of the topography beneath you. Switch to IFR map mode to display and navigate on high or low enroute airways, and use your touchscreen map cursor to reference MEAs (Minimum Enroute Altitudes) and distances between intersections.

The Garmin aera 660 portable aviation GPS even provides vertical navigation (VNAV) guidance to simplify en-route transitions. You’ll stay aware of special airspace activity with more than 650 parachute drop zone details (U.S. only) and get 1-touch airspace information. Garmin Smart Airspace™ guidance conveniently highlights the airspace nearest your current altitude and de-emphasizes non-pertinent airspace so you can quickly identify your location relative to the airspace around you. And, of course, the aera 660 includes our signature direct-to and nearest-airport navigation.

ADS-B Without Wires
Using Bluetooth® connectivity via Garmin Connext technology, the Garmin aera 660 portable aviation GPS easily interfaces with compatible devices to cut the clutter in your cockpit and improve your flying experience. With a Garmin GDL 50 or 52 portable ADS-B receiver or GTX 345 all-in-one ADS-B transponder, you can access and display ADS-B subscription-free weather¹ and advanced traffic alerts, including TargetTrendTM relative motion tracking and TerminalTrafficTM, so you’re aware of potential conflicts in busy terminal airspace. It even allows wireless control of Garmin VIRB® action cameras to start and stop recording and capture photos. With the Garmin GDL 51, you can receive Sirius XM Subscription Weather.

Stay Up to Date With Garmin
With the Garmin aera 660 portable aviation GPS, you can cut the cord — and your database prices. You can update databases via Wi-Fi instead of connecting to a computer, and stay current throughout the year with a single, affordable annual subscription that includes all the databases you need, including the Garmin Navigation Database (U.S., Canada, Mexico-version only).

All-in-one Functionality
The Garmin aera 660 portable aviation GPS fulfills the role of either a Class I or Class II electronic flight bag, greatly reducing the need to rely on paper charts in the cockpit. U.S. geo-referenced VFR sectional and IFR enroute charts come preloaded to show your aircraft’s position overlaid directly on the relevant chart, and optional European and Canadian VFR and IFR charts and airport diagrams are also available. When in IFR map mode, the Garmin aera 660 portable aviation GPS can display victor airways, jet routes, leg distance and more, similar to traditional enroute charts. Plus, pilots who prefer Jeppesen charts and diagrams can use built-in ChartView capability, which uses Jeppesen’s extensive library to provide global geo-referenced charting capabilities. European users receive an enhanced basemap to see even more visual reference points, including borders, lakes, roads, grasslands, parks and more.

Get 3D Perspective
Revolutionary 3D Vision technology gives you a virtual 3-D behind-the-aircraft perspective view of surrounding terrain derived from GPS/GLONASS and the onboard terrain database. Slide your finger across the touchscreen to rotate the view and show land and water features, obstacles, runways and airport signposts in relative proximity to the aircraft. And when you connect the aera 660 to an attitude source through a Flight Stream 210, a GDL 39 series portable ADS-B data link or a GTX 345 ADS-B transponder, Garmin SVX synthetic vision and attitude command bars are automatically added to your display. Plus, with its forward-looking terrain avoidance capability, the Garmin aera 660 portable aviation GPS predicts in advance where towers or obstacles may exist and shades the landscape with amber or red overlays to indicate those areas. Also, get help flying clear of conflicts with Garmin WireAware™ wire-strike avoidance technology, which graphically overlays Hazardous Obstacle Transmission (HOT) lines that span rivers and canyons right on the moving map page, for the U.S. as well as in some locations in both Canada and Mexico. Touch the wire to display both MSL and AGL heights, and see color-coded obstacle alerting depending on your distance to the hazard. An optional full database that includes all powerlines is also available.

Regions
The Garmin aera 660 portable aviation GPS is available in 4 regional versions with select regional data preloaded for North America, South America, Atlantic and Pacific regions. While each version is only available for purchase from Garmin in the corresponding region, regional databases can be purchased for any unit from any region. For pilots in Europe, the Atlantic version of the aera 660 includes the new Enhanced Basemap, which provides VFR operators with more visual landmarks and intersections that are often used when contacting air traffic control. Additionally, when selecting a street or intersection on the moving map of the aera, street names populate so it’s easier to identify aircraft location while navigating over an urban or unfamiliar environment.

Helicopter Optimization
The Garmin GPS contains built-in features tailored to helicopter operators, including Garmin WireAware™ wire-strike avoidance technology. WireAware overlays power line locations and relative altitude information on the moving map and provides both aural and visual alerting when operating near power lines. Altitude display is offered in both mean sea level (MSL) and above ground level (AGL), so they are easier to identify relative to the aircraft flight path. The standard obstacle database contains Hazardous Obstacle Transmission (HOT) lines, which typically include those that span rivers, canyons, valleys or those that are within the vicinity of airports. Obstacle databases with comprehensive power line coverage and HOT lines are also available for the U.S. and portions of Canada and Mexico. Additionally, VFR helicopter chart coverage throughout eight major metropolitan areas within the U.S. depict helicopter airways and routes, heliports with associated frequency and lighting capabilities, NAVAID information and obstructions. Coverage for the Gulf of Mexico is also available, which includes offshore oil drilling platforms and more. Operators may also incorporate City Navigator® NT street maps to enable address look-up functions within the aera to easily navigate to street intersections during off-airport operations.

In a Class By Itself
With its long list of features, the aera 660 combines many of the capabilities of panel-mounted avionics with a value-packed, purpose-built package. It’s a dedicated aviation portable that’s ready to fly, right out of the box.
