iFly GPS Forum

I have had success getting targets on both my Samsung Note 3 phone and my LG tablet. Now the phone won't show targets.

It says I am receiving, have several towers and I get Nexrad and Metars from ADS-B source and have the target alerts set the same on both units.

I tried clearing the cache on the phone, but no luck.

Have targets altitude and range set to unlimited.

Any ideas?

I like having the phone as a fall back for my tablet.

By the way...no more "no heartbeat" issues all the way to OSH and back.

Brian:

Thanks for the quick response.

Looks like I had a short between the headsets. I just checked the phone here at home and sure enough I did NOT heve traffic activated in the Map Mode.

I was going into Menu>Setup>Alerts and settings>and Traffic Alerts>Enable Traffic Alerts which I checked thinking it would do the job, but it appears you also have to turn on traffic alerts in the map mode also.

Seems redundant.

When can we expect a comprehensive up to date IFLY manual i.e., IFLY for Dummies like me?

Thanks for raising this issue. One chief goal of iFly is to "work easy without a manual" (although we need to update the manual). As part of that goal, we've done two things for version 9.7:

1. Auto-Enabled Traffic Layer, so that this is the default setting on installation.
2. If you toggle the "Traffic Alerts Enabled" to on, iFly now re-enables the Traffic Layer on the map.

We are now erring on the side of showing too much, and having the user figure out how to hide it, rather than vice-versa.
