iFly GPS Forum

I'm not talking about the transition strip when you fly across the border of a sectional chart into next sectional.

Occasionally while flying in the middle of my local sectional about the bottom inch or inch and a half of the screen turns blank (white). IIRR I can usually recover the view of the "missing" terrain by zooming out.
And I believe (but don't trust my memory on this, and can't replicate the experiment until iFly glitches again) when I zoom back IN the bottom piece of terrain goes missing again.
Not likely to be critical (unless a nasty tall obstacle had just come on screen) but annoying.

Wonder if it could mean --
#defective/flaky spot on SDcard where sectional is stored and read from?
# My iFly is starting to manifest a intermittent hardware failure?
# Or?

Hi Walter,

Thanks for quick response.

I've only been flying in the Klamath Falls sectional for a long time and don't expect to go out of it soon, so can't say if it happens on others.
It seems to , IIRR, happen at one location, and at one zoom level.
Problem with an intermittent glitch is can't set it up and reproduce it and thereby definitively answer such questions.

Just got off the phone with Ed at your company.
We suspect it could be a glitched copy of the sectional.
Ed said he'd seen some other issues of glitched sectionals.

He suggested I delete the suspect sectional from the iFly card, download/update it.

Will try that and try to remember to report back.
May have to wait long enough to develop confidence that it won't happen again as I don't have a specific protocol I know would reinvoke the misbehavior.
