Forgot to add: Internal GPS is primary, and the ADSB performance report (which I've done twice) comes back with no squawks.

Bill, I do have an antenna installed on the MX1 and the SP12. Regardless of how many satellites I have, the best I get is RAIM Non-Precision, but I did verify their location reporting with a nearby avionics shop and they are correct. I can say with confidence that the nearest airports thing is not r...

I passed the following along to Michigan Avionics, but I'll post it here for visibility (or in case one of the big brains in the community can comment). Just for fun, I loaded up a landscape version of the sim. It made no difference to the problems I presented. In the interest of being thorough, I r...

Here's a couple videos I made this morning using the simulator. The sim is reproducing what happens in the plane, which makes me think the problem doesn't have to do with my installation. The first video is about 10 minutes, the second is maybe two. Any help is greatly appreciated... I'm really at a...

Bill, I'd like to use the method you laid out, but unfortunately it doesn't work and is what led to me trying to pan and tap. When I try NAV > NEAREST function, the closest airport listed is 117nm away, and nearby airports aren't even displayed on the map unless I enter PAN mode. Interestingly, if I...

Here's a video showing my nearest airports/map functions woes: https://youtu.be/DjcEZB4BWwM As you can see in the video, the MX1 doesn't show airports or waypoints (but it will show airspace) on the map until I press the PAN button. I try the same thing at a couple zoom settings and eventually get t...

I am just guessing here, but, The MX1 may try to use its internal GPS for the airport functions. I would connect the GPS antenna to the MX1 and see if that cures the problem. Also, have a look at your settings in ... MENU > System Setup Menu > Setup GPS and NMEA Port Ops Thanks Bill, I was typing a...

Update: So I'm piecing together info from different manuals, looking at different things, tabbing through the sim, and something dawned on me. My transponder interface says ALT C RF RF, which means it's receiving signal from two GPS's. The first RF is the MX1 and the second is the SP12. ModeS_ADSB.p...

I thought it sounded like a GPS problem too, but the MX1 is tracking me properly on the chart and my location and groundspeed line up with what Foreflight is saying. I want to say that it's saying RAIM NON-PRECISION, but I can't remember. I'll be out at the airport in the morning and will take a pic...

So far the MX1 doesn't see nearby airports. When I press NAV and then go to nearest airports, I'm given some airports that are about 115 nm away. It doesn't see the airport I'm sitting at, it doesn't see the airport a couple miles away, or anything else nearby. When I fly over another airport it doe...
