New Update

I just loaded it and was exploring some of the improvements. The new landscape mode is interesting, but it can not be changed after iFly is started. I was expecting a button to be able to switch between the two modes. There is still a button to switch the plates view. When do you expect to have seamless maps?

Re: New Update

As was I

I keep my iPad rotation Locked, so I was looking all over for that Screen Orentation choice, like we have in the 720's...

Maybe in the next Dot Release

Re: New Update

Are there any significant advantages of the IPad app over the Android app? I have a 1st gen Nexus 7 and was kicking around the idea of getting an IPad Mini Retina.

I don' have an Android, so I have no real basis for an opinion...

I find the iPad 2 to be hard to see in sunlight when I rent a Gobosh, OK in a C-162... (720 works fine in Both!)

The iPad also suffers from a sensitive screen. Often when I grab it to look I am off in some screen I have never seen before. Frustrating if you are taxing!

OK, thanks. I'll just stick with the Nexus 7 for now. I recently bought a RAM suction cup mount for it that works very well in the C162's I fly. Maybe I'll upgrade my Nexus 7 to the newer version.
