Rotate Screen

Recieved my unit today, Love it, cant wait to use it. One thing I noticed unless I am overlooking it somehow is the screen does not rotate like my android phone. If it does not I think it would be nice if it did so you could have Hor. or Vert. mounting choice. Other than that I know I am going to enjoy the unit.

Re: Rotate Screen

Lowflyer150, the IFly does not have a built-in accelerometer like the IPad and maybe the Android. They may be able to put in a "rotate" function so maybe that will do what you want to do.

Re: Rotate Screen

This is on the wishlist - look for it in a future software release. (It will be a setting, so you can select Landscape or Portrait mode).

Thanks!

Excellent! This will really give me my panel space back. Thank you.

Re: Rotate Screen

I'd like to 2nd the idea of portrait mode. Just being able to switch modes would be perfect, no accelerometer needed. That way it could be put on the panel and it will take up less space. I'm surprised that you didn't make it in portrait mode in the beginning as it seems to me more important to look ahead than to the side. Being able to select which way will be ideal. It's such a great gps now and with this change it'll be super great!
