I will probably not have a reasonable fast interconnet connection over the next few days, some charts will however expire on 4/30.

Is there a way to downlad chart- and database-updates a few days in advance?

Oliver - In the past when my internet connection had gone down, I would go to my local library to update my charts. They have a T1 line there. Now days, I go to my local senior center. They have optical cable there. - Jim Williams

Oliver,

We typically have the next data cycle on our server ready to download 3 or 4 days early. Many of our iFly hardware owners will create a backup SD card and use this for updating, then they swap it out when it goes live. Android owners can do this if they are using an external SD card for their data, but it's not commonly done because there is usually a lot more stuff being stored on the card.

This data cycle will go live today.

Thanks,
Walter

Beautiful - I just downloaded the new data cycle. Perfect timing, as I will leave tomorrow.

Thank you.
