I have been using iFly GPS on several devices since it came out for Androids. Recently I saw the CAP GRID overlay feature on ForeFlight and would really appreciate having a similar feature in iFlyGPS. If I can get some information on how to add a chart layer to iFlyGPS, I would be happy to help develop something to help other CAP pilots with search and rescue / disaster relief missions. The grids are simple (based on sectional chart lat/long divisions), and having the grid pattern overlay is incredibly useful while making so many turns close to the ground. I really don't want to have to buy an iPad.

This seems to me to be a useful but very limited use feature. What it makes me wonder is if iFly might incorporate some means for users to install personal overlays specific to their needs.

As a search and rescue team member of the Civil Air Patrol, I too would like the means to set up search grids on my iFly 740, iPad, and iPhone

Until iFly has a solution, you might have your copilot run the free FltPlanGo app on a seperate device. It has a CAP grid option.

It's on our wishlist. And now that we have gone seamless and do not have multiple charting projections, it's likely a much easier project. I'll re-visit this with Walter and Brian. We get a fair number of requests for this and it would help us to support Search and Rescue and CAP personnel.
