I'm using the Android versionof your app. I like it, except for the inability to set it in portrait mode. It's extremely annoying!

The manual says Setup | Settings but I see no place to set this - the closest being Screen Layout (currently set to Tablet) or Lock Screen Orientation (checking/unchecking this does nothing).
Am I missing something or has this great feature been removed?
EDIT: Ahhh just figured it out. Never saw this in the documentation, but just discovered by accident. iFly locks the screen orientation to whatever orientation you start the app in. Makes sense if you know, but kind of crazy if you don't - especially when the manual says something else.

I would like to be able to rotate the screen orientation on the fly. I have a RAM mount with a swival. Evidently, I am one of the few who have requested this feature.

For the actual iFly devices, they don't have an orientation detector, so it must be set via the menu. But for iOS and Android, all of these devices have detectors, so they are set just by turning the device.

Thanks for pointing out this flaw in our document. I think we should probably get that fixed, to indicate the difference between our iFly devices, and the Android/iOS methods.

Actually not true on my device. iFly locked the orientation to whatever it was when I started the app. Not what I'd expect, but that's how it worked for me.

You're not using an IFly Device. You're using an Android tablet. Turn your tablet to the orientation you want before starting IFly GPS.
