iFly GPS Forum

Update: Continued playing shows that Clarity and Freeflight will connect to the 720 and provide heartbeats and etc. Guessing it will take altitude now to be able to connect to ground signals and update with traffic and Wx . Thanks

Just powered up a new Ping Buddy to play with , Was inside at the time and was using my 720 ifly for EFB. The Wifi connected up fine and reconnected up several times on power up. However the device seem to be not recognized by any of the listed devices. Tried Stratus v1 , Levil, Skyradar with no luck although was still showing wifi connected in settings the Connected devices had nothing . Any ideas? I expected to see Wx . Do you think at altitude will make any difference?

I flew today for the first time using my new pingBuddy. It seemed to work well with my iPad Mini 4 and iPhone 6S Plus. It did take iFly GPS about 30 minutes to start showing updated metars/TAF's while another app I sometimes use showed them much sooner. Also, for the entire flight I had the Target Altitude instrument displayed showing 1200+ regardless of what altitude I was at or whether I was using a sectional, WAC, or low altitude. I forgot what this instrument is supposed to show.

Mid-flight I ran the altitude optimizer and it worked, but the target altitude did not change. The optimizer said fly at 4500 feet VFR.
