iFly GPS Forum

Let me start off by saying that I am hooked on the iFly700....and I don't even own one yet. I'm sure I will be purchasing your fine product within the next few months, however, I still need to examine the options out there. Walter - have you done any side-by-side comparisons to other products (specifically the iPad/FF combo)? If so, is this something you can publish? From what I've seen the iPad option seems to be alot of 'fluff' and may be lacking some important features. With your version 5 release, I don't know how it can compete with the iFly700.

I don't have a competitive comparison document. If we create something like that we will be certain to communicate it to everyone.

I recently purchased an iFly 700 and thus far am very impressed. This is the first of many, many GPS units that I have owned that was not built by Garmin. I am accustomed to a high quality produce and the iFly 700 fulfils those expiations. The operation is very intuitive, the size is just about prefect, the battery pack has a long life, the display is very readable in sunlight, updating could hardily be easier.

I have a Gpsmap 296 and a 496 mounted on the yoke of my plane and they have done a good job for me for a long time. I acquired the iFly simply to live in my flight bag to simply replace a big bag of charts. However, after just a bit of examination and exploring features I will be very surprised if it doesn’t fined a home somewhere on the on or near my plane’s panel.

I am currently of the opinion that the iFly 700 provides the very best bang for the buck in a portable GPS.
