Can't download new aviation database to my iFly720. Sectionals are coming through OK, but the data base download shows a data rate of -92 kbps and keeps having an error at about 71% complete. Anybody else having that problem?

I think others have reported similar problems, and you might be able to find solutions if you search the forums. (Never happened to me, so I don't remember what the solution was.)

Remember that you have at least two other options for updating your data, though; I bet if you get past this bump, future updates via wi-fi will start working again.

Option 1: Use a USB thumbdrive, and visit the "Updates" page on the AP site to download your update data, then transfer the USB drive to your 720 for installation: http://ifly.adventurepilot.com/UPDATE...

Option 2: The fastest way to get a big update installed requires an SD Card read/writer and a Windows PC. If you have those two things, install the iFly Connect software from here ( http://ifly.adventurepilot.com/UPDATE... ), then pop out the SD card from your iFly, insert it into your computer's card reader, run the iFly Connect tool, then replace the SD card back in the iFly.

Ed that seems to have done the trick. Thanks! I had been resorting to thumb drive for large file updates. It looks like I can go back to WI-FI now.
