Default Low cost ADS-B Options

I just heard from Peregrine Aero regarding installation of a TN70 to go
with my TT22. This part of what they told me:

The recent FAA policy on field approval installations makes it much more practical for the repair stations within the Trig dealership network to accomplish our STC on models that are not currently included on the AML. The TT22 and the TN 70 are an approved equipment pair under our STC (SA00756DE), so the repair stations within the Trig dealer network have the ability to complete this installation as an approved alteration so long as the equipment Is installed per the instructions provided by our STC and per the FAA policy on ADS-B installations.

Now to wait and see when the TN70 becomes available. I hope it's as
simple as that...

IMNSHO Stratus wins there big time with support for ForeFlight.

Just my opinion, but I detest artificially closed ecosystems, especially
the unholy alliance between Foreflight-Stratus-Apple, which seems to
have been deliberately created to keep prices high and your choices at
zero.

If you buy Stratus, you are stuck with Foreflight and Apple. If you buy
Foreflight, you are stuck with Stratus and Apple. That's why I went
with the Dual XGPS-series ADS-B/GPS receiver and the "IFly GPS"
navigation App. Dual supports a multitude of navigation apps with their
hardware, whilst the IFly app supports a multitude of hardware,
including many ADS-B receivers and serves both the Apple and Android worlds.

Is Foreflight better than IFly? I can't tell! I've subscribed to them
both, and they both have far more features than a humble VFR pilot like
me can remember how to access.

And please Darryl, keep a healthy supply of beer on hand. We need you.

If I was religious, I'd start praying for Darryl's health... especially his sanity.
