I'd like to put a vote in for better integration between the iFly 720 and the new iPad app. It would be great to leave the iFly 720 in the plane and the do updates and flight planning on the iPad. When you return to the plane, it would be great if the iPad could update the iFly wirelessly. I'm sure no expert on these things but since my iPad can share things like photos, documents, and weblinks between my iPhone and my Mac, this would seem quite possible....and most certainly handy.

Don,

This is already inthe works. There are some limitations put on developers by Apple, but there are some ways to work around it, like being connected to a Wi-Fi device like ADS-B or such. Something to act as a hub. It's early in the process, but it is in our plans. Thanks for the great feedback.

Don't know if this would help, Shane, but do note that there are third party apps for the ipad that implement what Apple didn't.... several different ways to far more easily move data (at least photos and documents... and a text file COULD contain in text character form a flight plan... use as an export and import medium to move a flight plant from iPad to ifly.

I admit I'm out of my turf here, but may be worth seeing if this makes sense.
