iFly GPS Forum

I was surprised when I tried to "flip" it, for the same reason ---- my WingX and Foreflight allow any orientation, which I do use to get the charging port at the 12 o'clock position (iPad II).

I know the iPad has a lock position that will prevent the screen flip, if invoked --- maybe the iFly is doing this automatically?

By the way -- the iFly software/maps are soooooo much sharper than either the Foreflight or WingX --- all I use now.

I have found the same thing. North Up and Track up reference the top, no rotation in map mode. If you display a plate or airport diagram, there is a "button" with 4 steps of 90 degrees of rotation.

I does appear the app stops the iPad's normal rotation when you change orientation. I would think that is to prevent the iPad from switching the display due to control motion when used on a yoke mount. I think that is a good thing. My mini will change orientation when changing from holding it vertical and then laying it down on a table.
