    if you don't have the correct GPS to slave the Trutrak to, it won't work properly, email there service / support section to verify. Otherwise I suggest purchasing the Garmin D5 or Dynon D2 or even an old D1 without Wi Fi if you can find one. My set up is working fine as is a few friends D2'sCall Avisist Avionics at Redcliffe Airport for there advice, a very friendly group to work with.

    Thanks Graham, I'll give them a call. Cheers

    Don't bother with Trutrak PFD Gemini, been there - done that, not mentioned in their info is that you have to slave the unit to a pacific GPS's to have the DG to work, even after trying to manually set it, was a failure.AH worked well, airspeed /altimeter relies on standard static pressure but unit read airspeed 10kts over, slip indicator refused to centre, spent a lot of time and money with patch cables to Garmin 795 GPS, advised to use new Garmin GPS data sender unit recommended by Garmin dealer, with ongoing communication with Trutrak and tech manager at Aircraft Spruce with no success,

    Gave up !

     

    Speak to Mark Kyle re MGL unit or Dynon D2.

    Hello Graham, I have read with interest your comments on the Gemini DG. I have one in a plane recently purchased and need to connect it to my Avmap EKP 4 gps for gps service so the "compass" display will work without drifting all the time. Am i Wasting my time or do you think it can be done. Cheers, Bill
