Hey Rick,

You can use iFly on your desktop... that's how I plan.

Jeff

I am looking for a web-based solution since I rarely take my laptop computer when I travel. Also, I am assuming that I would need to add another device to my subscription to use the desktop planner. If that is not the case then there is something that I was not aware of.

Thanks,

Rick

Skyvector is a great web based planning tool, and will have full compatibility to import FPs into iFly soon!

Fair enough. Once you buy the multi device option, which I did for my phone, the desktop add is included. I like having a backup like my phone, which I have already needed once.

Thanks Brolin. I will look at Skyvector again. A combination of Skyvector for desktop and iFly for mobile may be the answer. I have tried using Skyvectorn on an Android tablet and was not impressed. iFly, however, does great on the tablet. If Skyvector works best on a Windows system then the combo should be a winning team.

Thanks!

I do have the multi-device option but use a phone, tablet and 740. I could drop the phone and add a computer but I think that I would be limited to just one computer. I am going to try Skyvector first and see how that works out.

Thanks again.

Rick
