app shutting down when at airport

After updating to latest software, whenever I start up Ifly app on my Samsung 7.0 Tab 2 the airport diagram displays. When I try to switch to map mode the screen will switch back to airport diagram and after a few minutes the app will shut down. I cannot get the map to show as long as I am on the ground. I end up restarting the app once I take off and this not the best time to be messing with gps. Any reported problems with this? Seems to work fine on Ifly 520 and iPhone

Same thing is happening on iPad. It's unusable at the airport, even for flight planning. I am at KPIE, but it happens everywhere.

Re: app shutting down when at airport

We found a bug in the RealView logic: If the airport had an FAA published Airport Diagram that could not be georeferenced, the app was still trying to show it and this was causing some bad behavior. This has been fixed and re-released. Android is already out, iFly beta users can get it now (this will be in production later today), and iPad is in the queue for Apple to approve.

If you are at one of the affected airports, I'm very sorry for this bug.

Thanks,
Walter
