ELITE Simulation Solutions now offers GPS interface cables to connect your own flight simulator to Garmin 696 and 796 handheld GPS units. The cable connection to the handheld GPS allows it to show live georeferenced position reporting of your flight simulator's position so you can fly your flight simulator the same way and with the same devices you would in a real aircraft.
