iFly GPS Forum

I just installed iFly on my iPhone and after an extensive 10 minutes of use, have a few minor comments.

It seems that iFly should/would use the compass integral in the iPhone for direction information, is that a capabiliity I missed, or is there a reason it doesn't exist?

Menu>Setup>Aircraft Profile. I triied to take a quick look at this feature, and discovered there doesn't seem to be a way, other than shutting the app down, to get out of the Profile page without setting up at least one aircraft. Similarly, it doesn't seem possible to delete the only aircraft profile once one is set up.

Yeah, perhaps that's it. Maybe using the compass would make the display swing too wildly with even the slightest turn of the aircraft, whether due to turbulence, or cross wind, or or give an erroneous heading/track due to a mounting not directly aligned with the centerline of the aircraft. Although it does seem it would be useful for determining the crosswind, if the iFly ended up being able to import the aircraft airspeed.
