Possible?

I'm in the research process for updating my panel and bringing it into, at least, the 1990's and wondered something.

I recently installed the Stratus ADSB In/Out transponder which has a WAAS GPS. This in turn drives my Foreflight. Works fine, etc.

In order to make it a GPS IFR machine (I've got two CDI's / GS but would prefer a GPS solution), the go-to "economical" solution seems to be to drop a used GNS-430 in there with a new VOR/GS CDI. But I also remembered from my PPL training that the 430's screen is a little on the small size (by current standards) and I've gotten used to my Ipad Mini's screen size.

In an attempt to think a little outside the box, I realized that I already had a WAAS GPS in the bird! That Stratus transponder. Well...?

Is it possible for the Stratus Transponder to drive the moving map display on an MX20?

Tks
Robert
