Hi iFly Team - I am always confused when I update my charts and data bases on my iFly 700.  When I go to your web site and go to the update page, under 'Aviation Databases' it says"New Database Available as of: 12/31/1600".  I look at my iFly 700 GPS and it tells me 'Aviation Databases:  Exp: 01-14-2018.  OK, I assume that the year 1600 is really 2016.  But I want to know if i need to update my Aviation Database.  It turns out that, yes, there is a new Aviation DB which expires 03-29-2018.  However, I would never know that I need to make an update by just reading 'New Database Available as of Any Date'.  The charts date labels are clearer but I would like to see a starting date and an ending date for each database and each chart.  Thank you for any consideration towards this request.   Jim Williams

I assume "New Database Available as of: 12/31/1600" means there's an error in either the software or your hardware.

This is a bug on our server.  New code is waiting to be deployed.  It should be reading correctly now, and when I get the bug fixed it'll never show this date again.

Morning, Walter - Yes, the update page reads correctly now, but my request is to find a label that brackets the starting and ending dates for each chart and database.  Such as:  Aviation Data Base:  Current from 15 September 2017 thru 14 March 2018.  There is probably a better word than 'Current', I just can't think of it right now. - Jim Williams
