Do Stratus portable receivers provide GPS location information?

Yes. Stratus portable receivers include a GPS/WAAS receiver and will provide GPS information to Stratus Insight and ForeFlight Mobile. Stratus 3 is compatible with other apps that use the GDL 90 protocol. To activate this feature, enable the Open ADS-B Mode switch in the Stratus Horizon Pro settings page.


All generations of Stratus receivers work seamlessly with Stratus Insight, our electronic flight bag (EFB).

Stratus 3 was designed using the GDL-90 protocol, meaning it will work with a variety of EFBs. It can be switched to “Open ADS-B Mode” within the Stratus Settings (found in our free app Stratus Horizon Pro).
