iFly GPS Forum

I took time today to review all the discussions on the forum. Lots of interesting issues on the table. One theme seems to be universal. Most, if not all of Walter's clients are extremely satisfied with the IFly. It is an impressive unit that does considerably more than anything in the market, even if it costs several orders of magnitude less than the competition. We have an additional "feature": the company's owner is "one of us". Walter and his staff truly care about the product.

A couple of additional things to note:

1. It is very important for all of us to make it know in our circles that this product is unbeatable.
2. The subscription issue should not be an issue at all. The price is so reasonable that there is no excuse to have current data. Additionally, we should all be interested in the company making money with this product so that they can continue providing the incredible service they provide to us. (Plus Walter is a good guy!)
3. Wish lists are great. However, we need to trust the priorities established by the company, as they see all the requests and know the feasibility of each one.
4. I hope that we don't push to turn the IFly into a mediocre unit for all uses. I would much rather have the excellent aviation unit than one full of automotive stuff that detracts features and resources from the aviation portion. In my opinion, there should be no automotive capability in this unit. You can buy a $60.00 automotive Garmin rebuilt unit and use it in the car if necessary, not your $500.00 IFly.

Thanks for fighting for all of us who don't suscribe to the theory that you need to pay $3,000.00 to have the best GPS on the market.

Which EFB on the market is $3,000?

Joe, sorry you are having problems.  The XGPS150A is a Dual GPS receiver - these work by talking directly to a supported tablet and overriding it's internal GPS receiver, it actually does not talk directly with iFly and should be totally unrelated to your problem with a subscription.  What sort of tablet are you using?  You mentioned "Fire" ... if it's an Amazon Fire device then these are not supported by Google, and the Play store and any other in-app purchases related to Google will not work.  Instead you need to renew through our website.  There is nothing to ship, if you login and renew it will immediately add time to your subscription.  Also note the app will not automatically update on an Amazon Fire, you will need to side-load the app by downloading the latest version here:  www.iFlyGPS.com/AndroidAPK.

Thanks,
Walter
