something happened on the latest software update for maps.   the iFly 740b no longer connects to the wireless without a reboot of the iFly in-flight and on approach the GPS refuses to reconnect in the procedure turn when commanded.  what happened to the software.  why is it different than the prevous version.  I didn't expect an update to the software without some communication of the changes. go back to the older version and just update the maps, please.

Please be more specific about the problems you are encountering.  Many, many users are using iFly without significant issues.  It's possilbe that you've run into a bug that has not yet been reported (this certainly happens), but it is also possible that there is something unique to your configuriation that is causing your issues.

Regarding the wifi connection issue, the iFly devices have always suffered from...I will charitably call them "quirks"...when moving between wifi networks.  Honestly, it's best to only use the iFly devices on your in-flight network and delete all the other stored network credentials (anything else with a "(Pre)" in the network name when you look at the network info on the iFly device).  This behavior is intrinsic to the device itself and does not change when iFly software is updated.

I don't understand what you mean when you say "the GPS refuses to reconnect in the procedure turn when commanded".  Could you please try to describe your issue more clearly?

How do you delete unwanted WiFi sources?

Like when you try to sync wifi networks?

That list is populated by the networks around you.

If you're talking about preauthentication, go to the network and click on "disconnect"

I agree on the unwanted WiFi sources. You can't eliminate the "pre" sources across a reboot. You can disconnect, but the next time you start they're back. I would much rather put in the password at my home system once every 28 days than go through the network settings every time I fly so it doesn't disconnect from my ADSB in flight. Right now it's just a part of my start up checklist before I let the plane move. Bob
