This one looks really promising. Great battery life, CO detection, included suction mount, less than half the price of the iLevil, more handy than the PilotAware. I read that a couple of you guys where able to connect other uAvionix devices to Skydemon in the past. So I'm wondering if somebody already tried the Sentry and could share her/his experiences here? (officially I saw only Foreflight compatibility so far)ThxTalisa Indeed a cool device, I don't think it has shipped yet even in the US so no chance to test it so far. One thing I don't understand is how this new device relates to the earlier announced SkyEcho 2, both look VERY similar. It seems that this device may have a similar product cycle as the ForeFlight Scout which was first offered by uAvionics and then was inherited by FF.Anyway, Sentry supports GDL90 so there is a good chance that it will work with SD.The Sentry can be ordered by amazon and will ship by July 19th for 499USD + customs. If I got the description correct the major difference to the SkyEcho 2 is: Echo2:- intended to be approved at least in the UK- ADS-B in AND out- SBAS GPSSENTRY- mainly intended for US market- WAAS GPS- CO detection- barometric altitude - attitude detectionThanks for summarizing, let's see who is the first to test SENTRY in Europe.Sentry is designed to work exclusively with ForeFlight Mobile, see here:https://www.amazon.com/ask/questions/Tx2GJAZNC7G6EMB/ref=ask_dp_dpmw_al_hzaMaybe we move this to a PN instead as it seams that just we two are keen on this topic. I touched based with Christian Ramsey from uAvionix on this. He stated:"Sentry is also not a GDL90 interface, so it will not workwith apps other than ForeFlight initially - although I am told that FF willmake the SDK open to other EFB apps to integrate with it. I don't haveany idea on the schedule for that, and the decision is up to the EFB provider,obviously." Any news here in the meanwhile?
