Now imagine how much safer and how much more attractive GA will be if every machine out there has a nice new colour moving map GPS like the Garmin 430 or something similar that displays traffic and possibly weather, combined with a crisp COM system
I might be incorrect but as I read the JCP and JCP CBA proposal the dashboard GPS only goes into IFR aircraft. VFR get a TSO 145 GPS engine that drives the ADS-B location data but does NOT give ANY NAV or COM information. Nothing on the dashboard at all.

If that's the case, what's in it for the average VFR owner? Most probably fly in G airspace and don't really desire ADS-B IN at their cost for normal CTAF operations.

Am I muddled?
