iFly has had some outstanding enhancements lately. One enhancement I'd like to suggest, albeit at a low priority, would be the ability to import user defined waypoints from a list. A friend has sent me a .gpx file (created by his Naviator app) of his, let's call them, "uncertified airports". (You could also call them his friend's pastures). It'd be nice to be able to import such lists into iFly. Below is a snippet of one such field - an actual airport that hasn't made it to the charts yet.

That would be cool. Do you know what 'Navigator' app your friend is using that produces the .gpx file?

Naviator, not Navigator.

Jeff,

Great request! You can add Custom Waypoints with your own name at this time on the iFly GPS App and any iFly devices. We currently have it on our development wishlist to add the ability to include type, notes, frequency, etc of user defined waypoints.

We also have it on our wishlist to export and import GPX, KML files from our device or app. Stay tuned.
