OK, all good, but...

What if we want to KEEP what we have set-up on our iFly EFB's now?

Many of us have looked at 4flyght and strongly prefer what iFly has in terms of display and logic...

Can we skip the "upgrade" if we prefer? Asking for a friend....thanks.

Be careful with the product names to avoid confusion:  "iFlyGPS" = the original product, "iFlyEFB" = the new product.  Even though both are technically EFB programs, if someone says "EFB" on here, most readers are going to think youi mean the new "iFlyEFB", especially if you type it like "iFly EFB".  But in this case I think you meant to say, "...KEEP what we have set up on our iFlyGPS's now?"

Re: your question, AP has stated over and over again that there is no plan to abandon support for iFlyGPS for the foreseeable future, so you can expect it to keep working for a long time.  However, they have stated that new development (additional features and refinement) will occur almost exclusively on the iFlyEFB product only, so what you've got today with iFlyGPS is pretty much where it will remain going forward.

Hi Brolin. Sorry, but I have to call out your last statement as an overshoot. EFB is not running better than GPS -- it's barely running at all. It only successfully runs on Android tablets as of this moment (though I saw that Brian figures he has the iPad issues handled). And at that, it's a buggy/limited alpha release at best. Just calling it a beta release is an overstatement. It's not. I was really surprised that you guys released it widely.

Yeah, I'm thinking maybe he means EFB is running as well as GPS did when it was at this state of development. It's definitely nowhere near ready for prime time. It's really not usable in the cockpit at all as it stands now, though it is definitely pretty.

Brolin,

Was wondering if you could share any new information on IFLYEFB?  I have read the section of your website about EFB and was hoping to find some details about what can be done with IFLYEFB, that could not be done with IFLYGPS.

Thanks,

Steve
