Thanks in advance for any input.  Is there something special I need to do to get the EFIS option to show?  I believe all the other Map Modes are showing correctly for me, and all other function seems to be working quite well, but I dont' see that as a selection.

I think there's a couple ways to get to the same place to do what you want. 

Try:

Pressing the "Inst Group"  button in the lower right side of the screen (Currently hidden under the Artificial Horizon instrument in your image). 

Then in the bottom, left side of  the box that appears, click on "Customize". 

Now press "Add Instrument". 

Scroll down to the line that says "EFIS Toggle" and click on that. 

Then Click on "Add" 

You will now see the "Show EFIS" Button outlined in red in the center of your screen.  Drag the button to where ever you want it located on your screen, then;

Press "Save"  (or "Add Instrument" if there are more instruments you want to add to your screen)

iFly will now give you a choice to save it as the [Same name as the] current layout, or give it a new name such as "Basic with EFIS".

Click the button of your choice, and you will either be done, or need to supply your new name, to then "Save"

From what I see in your picture, you're missing the top half of the menu for the Map Mode button.  The part of the menu where you choose between VFR, Vector, Instruments, IFR Low, IFR High, and lastly 3D EFIS.

Ben, there is something wrong with how iFly is drawing your form.  Can you please select Menu -> About -> Send Bug Report so we can get a detailed log of this issue?

Ben, thank you for the bug report.  We see that you have a KT107 tablet.  So far for iFlyGPS version 11.0, we now have two reports like this (yours is #2), and both reports are from the same exact device make/model -- the  KT107, with Android 8.0 and Android 8.1.

Several other Android 8 beta testers have confirmed that iFlyGPS works fine for their devices, and it also works well on the Anrdoid 8 emulator.   We're not yet sure what it is about the KT107 that induces this bug.   The bug is essentially a critical layout bug for all "Scrollable Content"; it is positioning all such content at the top-left of the form.  That's what you are seeing here on the Mode Menu (the bottom content is scrollable, but is being positioned at the top, which now occludes the other content).

This is a critical bug for the KT107 (and not sure if any other devices exhibit this defect), and we are seeing what can be done about it.
