Transfering Weather Data from Phone to Tablet Modified By Jim_W on 6/15/2015 12:54:55 PM

I have an Android cell phone and an Android tablet. iFlyGPS is installed on both. Both have Bluetooth. Although I have never tried it, it appears that the cell phone might be able to up date the weather data while in flight. i.e. - 'Setup', ' Attempt Internet weather while in flight'. If I can connect to a cell tower while flying and if I can get a weather data update on my phone, is there a way that I can copy the latest weather data onto my tablet via Bluetooth? - Thanks, Jim Williams

The easiest way would be to turn on your phone's hot spot feature and connect your tablet to your phone using WIFI. Then, run IFly GPS on your tablet. Your phone would need to be on, but would not need to be running the IFly app.
