What do you envision that is different from what iFly already does?  As far as I know, it already does update all its weather data as fast as the new data becomes available, either via the Internet or via ADSB.  When it's not updating, it's either because the data source iFly is pulling from is not updating (like METARs that only update once per hour), or iFly is not connected to any data source. 

Have you experienced anything different from that?

There are several videos on the Stratux, but I don't see anything specific to the Astro. Would there be value on setting something up that is specific to the iFly?

Also a video updating the iFly using an SD card (iFly Connect) instead of WiFi?



Great ideas!!

making the video today.

Since the EFB will not have dedicated hardware, how about a survey of various tablet options - focusing on screen brightness (for an open cockpit aircraft in my case), any other factors that matter - RAM, CPU speed, etc.???

While a great idea, that wouldn't be feasible, as it's comparing Apples and oranges (see what I did there?)
iFly GPS can literally run on a Samsung smart fridge, so both will be lightning fast and you can't really see screen brightness correctly with a glass screen on camera.

that's already included if you have a data source

OK - then do a market survey web page - or a video just not trying to show the brightness on camera- go outside and say - gee, this one looks great, and I can hardly see anything on the screen on this one.
