I'm a new user, today I noticed that if I open the app in either landscape or portrait display I am unable to change it.  I can leave the rotate screen open to "rotate when tablet is rotated" in Android settings, however the iFlyGPS app will not also rotate.  I am unable to find a setting in the iFlyGPS app to rotate or lock the screen, so i'm confused as to what's happening.

The reason why this is important to me is because I set my yoke mount up for portrait.  However after I got it set-up, I realized it will be better in landscape.  Rotating the tablet on my mount didn't change it.  I just want to make sure that I can rotate the app because situation may dicatate that I do so from time to fime in the cockpit, I don't want to be screwing-around with app/tablet when and if that happens.

I realize that I can't get help with the tablet, but i'm not sure this is a tablet issue.  Again I leave it on "rotate screen whenever tablet is rotated".  So, this is definitely an app question.

Can anyone help?

To the best of my knowledge that is "as designed" as of right now.  IFly will not rotate on demand without closing and reopening.  I'm not sure if this is ever planned to be changed or not but I'm sure someone will chime in that knows more about why it's that way.

So you have the choice of portrait or landscape, and to change it, go to menu/setup/screen settings/screen orientation

It is such a pain when it was set to auto rotate so that's why we have screen locking.

Excellent, thanks.  I just wanted to rule-out some user-knowledge issue on my side since i'm new to this app.  Now that I know, I can proceed accordingly.

Thanks!!

LOL! Choice of pain. Locked by the app or locked by the tablet.
