Re: Increased search ability

I'd be fine with it as a flight planning feature which is network dependant. You could just pass it through a web lookup in the background. Not too hard to get all the cities from a zipcode db though. Glad you're putting this on the list!

Re: Increased search ability

Agreed. Optional download or Internet dependant, either would be sufficient.

1+ for me too. Flight planning only. Network dependant would allow me to get lat-lon of address lookup. Not interested in more downloads. I'll make a waypoint if I need it.

Re: Increased search ability

Is it called begging if you ask for something more than 3 times? I cannot go a month without wishing, no needing, the ability to look up an address and simply put a lat-lon pin on the map in iFly. Ugh, cannot even paste into the lat-lon iFly window - I have to punch it in manually.

Yesterday: 2 guys at work will pay gas From Nashville TN to Carmel, IN (Prairie view country club). TYQ is not the closest airport. Do you know which one is?

Today: what's the closest airport to Lawrence Welk Resort? Well there's a private one less than 6miles away

Quick, what's the closest airport to Blue Ridge, GA? Neighbor will pay for the cabin in the hills if I fly us out there. (Its a private strip and enterprise will pick you up) Bonus, it used to be a drag-strip.

Give us a "web search" search type in your nearest search box please!!!

...yes, I'm begging...
