World Map  Modified By Don Maxwell  on 4/20/2017 1:39:51 PM

Would it be possible to have a sort of basic world map, prefereably with some aviation data--such as airports--so that iFly would be useful in other countries?

I was in Patagonia for several weeks recently and took several internal airline flights, as well as the international flights from and to the U.S. Alas, the iPhone iFly app had no idea where I was, the whole time. I had to use the Garmin Pilot app to identfy airports, track my progress between them, and so on. Garmin supplies (free) basic VFR, IFR, and Roads/Borders maps for the entire world, regardless of which aviation charts are paid for. I'm subscribed only to Garmin's US sectional charts, but see airport and nav data for every country on the planet. Radar weather for many places, too.

There are a lot of reasons to prefer the iFly app, but Garmin is better in this regard.

I would like to second that request and add too it. I would love to have high and low charts for Mexico and Canada as well as waypoints. I fly into Mexico on a regular basis and use your app while doing so, but it would be so much better if the waypoints were already in the database.

My vote is for at least VFR Canada, western in particular. I'd  hate to go Foreflight for that....who knows, might be convinced to just stay with them then...don't want that to happen!!

I do most of my flying in Mexico. Ch22 and Ch23 are helpful for VFR. However, there is no map south of ch23. And it would be great to have the IFR charts and waypoints and some kind of map further south. As well as procedures and such.

I recently bought a very charp Windows laptop just to run the Windows version of iFly for flight plannning--and it reminded me of two very strong wishes I have for iFly:

1. --that it ran on my Mac with the supurb 27" screen. (No, I don't want to buy Windows to run in Parallels; I'm done with that. The laptop with Windows 10 was cheaper than Windows 10 alone, and it's disposable.)

2. --that it had vector charts for the whole planet. How am I going to plan my circumnavigation when iFly (on all platforms) doesn't go beyond North America?! (That's not an academic question, by the way.)
