[Mr. Gadget]

Looks like Wi-fi in the cockpit has arrived: I found the product $299 USD at http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/a ... c&kw=Flash

The Flight Guide FLY-Wi GPS incorporates an aviation grade WAAS GPS that communicates wirelessly with the iPad via WiFi, creating a WiFi hot spot in your cockpit! This enables the new Moving Map feature in Flight Guide iEFB to display position on all Sectionals, TACs & IFR Enroute Charts during flight. The FLY-WI GPS will also display your position on Instrument Approaches and Flight Guide's nearly 5000 Airport Diagrams with future updates to Flight Guide iEFB!

This wireless connection allows for iPad mobility in the cockpit. As an added bonus the Flight Guide FLY-Wi GPS includes an auxiliary jack that, with future updates to Flight Guide iEFB, will give pilots an in-flight weather option for integrating XM or ADS-B to display on Flight Guide iEFB seamless charts!”

Flight Guide FLY-Wi GPS consists of two components: the FLY-Wi wireless transmitter (about the size of an iPhone) and the GPS (about 2” in diameter). Flight Guide FLY-Wi GPS has a rechargeable battery life of up to 8 hours and comes with a standard 110-volt wall charger.
