I am getting more used to using my IFD 440, which is integrated with the AXP 340 and a Skytrax200.

Did some relatively long flights yesterday from NorCal to SoCal and back. During that time I was not able to get winds aloft ADSB data - which just showed "Not Available". I inputted a number of different points in the INFO page, all to no avail. Is this a configuration issue? What other possible issues?

In a previous airplane with a Garmin GTX 345 I was able to get this data on an MFD (GMX-200) in the same geographical area.

Any insight will be greatly appreciated.

It is possible the winds aloft wasn't included in the FIS-B data for some reason.

the IFD unit will forward ALL ADS-B in data over WiFi to your tablet (or whatever device you are using) so you can always see if you have the winds aloft there.

I wasn't getting it on the iPad either.
