iFly GPS Forum

Here's an idea that would add much value to the iFly: Offer your sectionals data base as an JPG package. I have the 48 states (39 files I think) on my Android tablet. All the files are around 10 MB large but they all open very quickly in my tablet''s picture viewer. Seeing my route on a 10 inch screen is a great help when flight planning using my iFly 700. - Jim Williams

Hi Alan,

I've actually played with capacitive screens and multi-touch UIs, and we've considered this for the iFly. They demo great, and work well in a static environment. But in a small aircraft, and especially on warm afternoon, I found our screen selection to be the best option. When you are bumping around I thought it quite frustrating for every slight brush of the screen to be registered as input, and I thought pinch/zoom to be more difficult than a single touch to zoom in/out. Of course, opinions will differ on this, and I appreciate you posting your feedback on this.

Thanks!
Walter
