Purchased a new to me RV-7 a few months ago and I'd noticing that traffic would drop on my MFD. I have a GDL 39 remote connected to the system and wasn't sure if there was a problem with the GDL or perhaps connectivity in the G3X.
I'm currently on 9.31 firmware, but say this same behavior with the previous version (9.21? I don't recall exactly)
Reached out to Garmin and received an email that they have seen this in other systems. Wondered if anyone else out there is having this issue as well and if perhaps someone found a solution. Also, I'm not sure if it's something specific with the GDL 39 and G3X and not happening with other ADS-B devices.
Here's the email from Garmin:
"Hi Jeff,
I've been seeing issues with G3X Touch systems where the traffic randomly drops off the G3X, but remains on connected iPads, etc. Engineering is looking into it.
You could test this by connecting a phone or tablet running Garmin Pilot (there's a free trial version, they tell me) or Foreflight to the GDL 39 and see if the traffic remains on the app when it drops off the G3X... if it does, then it's a G3X problem (likely software). "
I emailed back and informed her that I did still receive traffic via ADS-B on my iPad in Foreflight when it would disappear on the G3X.
