Garmin Connext Interface
Section 1: Introduction
Garmin Connext
TM
is Garmin’s in-cockpit wireless
connectivity system that provides access to weather
updates, text/voice communications, and other data-
sharing capabilities both in the air and on the ground.
Flight Stream 210 is one of the Garmin Connext™ flight
connectivity solutions. It is a small remotely mounted
wireless gateway that, when connected to your GNS
430W/530W series navigator, enables compatible tablets
and smart phones to stream information to and from that
navigator via Bluetooth
®
. This allows you to use your
mobile device’s touchscreen as a cockpit interface. With
Flight Stream 210 and a compatible personal electronic
device (PED) you can transfer flight plans from your PED
to your GNS 430W/530W, plus you can display high-
quality GPS and AHRS attitude information on your PED
using Garmin Pilot, or other appropriate app. Traffic
(TIS-B) and subscription-free graphical weather (FIS-B)
from a GDL 88, or Sirius/XM weather from a GDL 69, can
also be shared between the GNS and your PED.
