Hi Dave,
I think there may be some confusion on this. The iFly Streets upgrade adds $39 for a single iFly Software Update, total is $99 ($60+$39). This is not the same as an Annual Subscription, but only a one-time update. If you add $39 x 12mo, I think you will agree the Annual Subscription is the best value and safest to fly with. Annual Subscription allows you unlimited downloads including the upcoming Version Update just weeks away. The $39 Single update would not.
I also believe all iFly Owners would agree that our ethics and business history does not warrant the "Holy screw job Batman" phrase. Adventure Pilot highly values all of our owners and makes every effort to offer the highest values for data and iFly products.
When we send out an iFly Streets SD card, it has the latest software. So those with out an annual data subscriptions are getting new sectionals, plates, and etc on that disk for a $39 fee. They cannot download additional data or software. Only what ships on that card is new, nothing further.
We greatly appreciate your business and support, we only ask forum posters to think out these rash references before posting as it does not owners or the company. We do completely understand that there can be confusion in how some may read or interpret items. We do try to make it simple and easy like our device. Thanks again for your business and support.
