iFly GPS Forum

Here is a feature I would find very useful. Optional virtual runway dashed extension lines for destination (or any) airport. Say to five miles out. Unfamiliar airport runways are hard to spot, or runways just behind trees or hills. Or high wing aircraft making turn from base to final the runway direction may not be visible. The pilot could use the line on the gps to line up with final.

I think thats a great idea .

In playing around with the IFly at home, I discovered something new - for me anyway. In the "vectors" mode, the runway identifiers are shown on the airport graphic. I know this isn't quite a nice as runway extensions, but the runways and identifiers are visible so you can plan your approach earlier at unfamiliar airports rather than waiting till you see the airport in the windshield.
