Re: IOS 9 support?

I just did the download but it won't install. I hate Apple.

Re: IOS 9 support?

Hello, upgraded my Ipad Mini2 this morning to IOS9. No problems but some initial Apple setup required, again.. My Locations services and all other settings associated with Ifly Version 9.2.16 remained and all is good!

Re: IOS 9 support?

Ok, so I upgraded to the 9.0. When using the internal GPS of the Mini2, I am now seeing a the internal GPS of the Mini2 drop out while in my house, a lot more than usual. (Always picked up GPS signals easily in the house)

I do have my location service for Ifly set to "when in use" Shane, Ifly doesn't have an always like other apps.

I just put the Dual on and of course, all is well with location now that it is on.. (and that's how I fly with it in the plane, using the GPS of the Dual to save Battery life of the Ipad.) But I'll try the Ipad on it's own again later to see if the GPS continues to drop out more with 9.0....

You might make sure to go outside after the update, if it's locating off the cell tower, you'll may see our app GPS signal drop more, that's because the integrity of the location is poor, due to no GPS data and only having cell tower triangulation.

After I went outside to get a good SAT lock, my iPhone 6+ is holding 3+ bars inside our house consistently. You might try that. If this continues for you, send bug report from Menu -> About... please.

Re: IOS 9 support?

Ok update, I've got the Ipad mini in the window on a clear morning here in New England... Using the Ipad mini2 alone, (No Dual), the GPS "un-lock" is very repeatable....

As soon as you start the Ifly app, it picks up 3 bars solid... then in less than 30 seconds, it drops to no gps position lock..

I've got FltPlanGo on my ipad as a back up.. I started it and that holds the GPS solid...

I've also got my Android Phone running Ifly side by side and that is holding 4 bars on the gps rock solid...

I have to know agree with Oldpilot... I think, well I know something got broke with the 9.0 IOS upgrade!

For reference, I have an Ipad mini2 with the cellular service... It is running in airplane mode and has Wifi and Bluetooth both turned on.... It also in the settings has location service for Ifly at "While Using" and FltPlan Go as "Always"

Help!
