Just curious:  Does iFly work with the ForeFlight Sentry Mini ADS-B Receiver?

Brolin or Walter or somebody can give a definitive answer, but ForeFlight has a long history of limiting 3rd party compatibility, and that hasn't changed since they were purchased by Boeing.  From the Sentry website:

So I think the answer to your question is "no".

Thanks, Cobra. I was afraid of that. I'm looking for an inexpensive dual frequency ADS-B receiver--something like the Ping USB dongle that I bought from AP a few years ago. That, plus a $10 GPS dongle, both plugged into my (cute little red plastic) Dell tablet/laptop gets it ADS-B traffic and weather wherever it goes--usually, on my desk. It works in the airplane, too, but the display is too dim for daytime flying.

Interesting - was hoping the answer was YES because I am also looking for a C02 detector and theirs has one BUILT - IN.

iFly might consider designing/offering a C02 detector -- the FAA is considering making them mandatory soon...the SENTRY has one built-in.

You do mean a CO detector, right?  :-)
