In general this is more convenient than going to the External page. This ADS-B menu also shows key status information like age of weather and the number of ADS-B ground stations you’re receiving. It’s important that you select these options from the ADS-B menu at the top of the Maps page – if you choose it from the Layers option you will be looking at older, Internet-sourced weather data. In this case, the Flight Stream 510 allowed us to pull ADS-B weather from the panel-mount GTX 345 transponder, so we could see radar, METARs, PIREPs, and more. Once you know you’re connected properly, go to the Maps page to view weather information. This is the place to start if you suspect performance problems. Choose Garmin from the list of options on the left side and you’ll see basic information like connection status, GPS position, and age of weather. Next, open up the Fltplan Go app and go to the External page, accessed from the menu on the left side of the screen. In future, the pairing should be automatic. You should see a prompt on the GTN screen to pair, and then you’re all set. Then, on your iPad, go to Settings -> Bluetooth and tap on the Flight Stream option. To do this, go to the Connext page on your GTN 650 or 750 (which the Flight Stream 510 smart data card plugs into), and tap Manage Paired Devices. To get started, pair your iPad to your Flight Stream. While Fltplan Go is not as polished and powerful as the Garmin Pilot app, it still packs a number of useful features into a free app, including weather and flight plan transfer.
On a recent flight we got to try Fltplan Go when connected to a Garmin Flight Stream 510, and came away impressed.

That includes the popular GDL 50/51/52 line of portable weather receivers, but also Garmin’s industry-leading panel-mount avionics like the GTX 345 transponder, GTN 650/750, and the Flight Stream line of wireless bridges that make the connection.
Since acquiring and the companion Fltplan Go apps last year, Garmin has been busy integrating the free app with its line of avionics.
