Started up IFLY on my Android Tablet. It showed no map unless I panned way out to see the entire country. Instead, close up it had a grey screen with "No Internet " on the screen. Irebooted the tablet wth no help so I pulled it up on my phone with no issue. Then after take off the maps came in.

Any ideas?

Hey John - this sounds suspiciously like a failing SD card issue. Let's start there - are you running it off an SD card? 
Are you on the most current version of iFly? 
Can you change the storage location to integral storage? (menu/check for updates/advanced/change storage location)

Brolin:

 

I'll check next time I'm at the airport.

On another issue...

We've had severe Santa Ana winds for several days here in SoCal and when I check on the weather to get the winds, under the METAR tab the winds are shown, but we can't see the gusts because it is covered up by the green VFR box.

Since you seem to be the only one to respons to queries I thought I'd mention it again.

What airport are you looking at so I can follow along on my end?

For the meantime, you can access winds by to add METAR/TAF on map mode. It will show you the sustained wind barbs, with gusts in red.

Doesn't matter which airport, but call up KAJO > Tap weather information > you will see the green title box for KAJO Crona Muni > The METAR is checked > If there were winds (there isn't now) you would see WINDS as the 1st indication with GUSTS on the right side, but obsured with the green VFR box.

You will only see this on any airport you call up that has winds with gusts.

Right now KCNO is showing winds at 14 kt, gusts ??? Don't know because gust speed is covered with the VFR green box.
