You can't just COPY the iFly SDcard on the 720. Have to clone it.
Lots of Windows cloning software out there. Some free, some cheap. I think the one I used might've been called "homeclone" or something like that.
If anyone wants to know exact source of the cloning software email request of post here and I'll try to dig it up.

Not true, my friend. A copy can be made simply by copying the contents of the original SD card onto your computer, folder by folder, then copy them from the computer onto the new SD card. Works like a champ. And you can even add mp3 music files and text file checklists if you are copying to a 16GB card and have the room. Just remember Streets won't work on the duplicate card but everything else will. ====Ralph
I stand corrected, Ralph. Good to correct as for most folks copying is easier and more flexible than cloning.
I think what I was thinking of when I wrote that mistatement is that unless you use cloning software (which copies byte-by-byte) you will not be able to use the Streets software on the secondary SDcard.
I didn't think of copying music or text files onto the iFly card.
I like your idea of copying text file checklists, etc, into iFly.
I think I'might use that to put some of the things I print and put on my kneeboard in there..... such as more airport info than iFly pulls up (FBO phone numbers, ground transport, etc.)
Will it be obvious where to put the text files on the card?
And will it be obvious how to access the text files in the iFly?
(I'm not currently where I have access to either of my iFly SD cards or I'd just try it)
By the way: How are you getting music out of the iFly. Surely not just through the iFly's speaker?
