I've tried several ways to print the chart with my route on it and haven't found an easy way. It would be very handy to have a print out of my selected route in the cockpit.

I can hit PRINT SCREEN and that copies the screen and then I have to paste it to something. However I can't find anything that shows the copied screen very well.

There must be a way with IFLY to have a print function. Yes...No?

AFAIK, there is no such function in iFly GPS. If you are talking about Windows (since you mentioned the PrinstSreen fiunction), a better choice is the Windows 10 snipping tool, which is part of the operating system. It will let you prin the whole screen or any part of it and save the result to a graphic file, which can then be printed by multiple tools, both pre-installed in Windows and added on. 

Is this what you are trying to do? I can tell you trying to fit that all on one page would result in somehting unreadable, except for the shortest of flights. You can use the same method to do it in multiple pages, although it seems like a heck of a lot of work for so little utility. May I ask why you want to do this? I thought the idea of an EFB is to avoid excess paper.

Maybe a backup device would be better.  Save your flight plan on your phone, etc.

iFly is really intended to be used on an electronic device in the cockpit, with the ability to pull up a myriad of information literally at your fingertips.  It's not really designed at all to transfer any of that information to paper in the form of printouts.

If you would like to have hard copies of some of your flight information, it's probably better to use a companion tool that is better focused on providing such a feature.  For instance, the AOPA flight planner used to do a good job of providing a graphical route printout if you wanted one, though I haven't used that tool in a long time and don't know if it still does (and it requires an AOPA membership to use).

I like to use fltplan.com to print out a nav log before flights.  It doesn't have a good graphical route feature...but that's what I use iFly's live display in the cockpit for.
