Like the title states. I was able to connect my Tab A 10.1 to my Stratux and connect to my phone's bluetooth tethering on my Galaxy S9.  However, in iFLY GPS, when I go to update the weather, the internet update is disabled. I still have to disable WiFi to gain internet update through the bluetooth and then turn my WiFI back on to connect to the Stratux.  Any possible way to make both work? 

Also, can we have a wish lift for higher resolutions Airport diagrams, Legends, etc... It's not a limfac, but just annoying to zoom into the airport diagram and the picture is pixelated.

I think "where do I look for the internet?" is answered at the OS (Android) level, not the application level, so there's probably nothing iFly can do about that.  You can test this yourself:  When you have the tablet connected to the Stratux via wifi and to the phone via Bluetooth, try opening Chrome and browsing to any website.  You'll probably find that doesn't work, either.

If there were a setting inside Android to select "use Bluetooth instead of wifi for Internet access", that would solve your problem, but I don't think there is one.
