I have a IFD-540 previously backed up by a Garmin 430W.

The 430W has had an internal failure, so I've ordered a 440 and plan

to do the slide-in swap.

I'm wondering how you use your 440, particularly in the backup position.

Since I'm doing the slide-in, I won't have cross-talk.

Would you use the IFD100 and 440 together? Do you update the

NavData on both units?

If I understand right you will now have a 540 and 440? Yes, you will need to update the Nav data on both. I believe you should be able to set up cross feeding between them. Once you have both a 540 and 440, you will decide which unit the IFD 100 talks to assuming they both have WiFi.

I pretty much use it in the exocentric SV view all the time. It’s great to have in my instrument scan during approaches. And of course as my COM2.

Thanks! I didn't even think of the Exocentric view. I thought I would just end up using it

like I did the 430W, A direct-to for the final destination and a backup approach using map view.

A appreciate the reply.
