iFly GPS Forum

Flying from Colorado to Texas last Friday I noticed the touch screen wasn't working quite right, especially the little keypad for typing in the waypoints. I kept on getting letters above my finger, not under, so I had to intentionally miss the key on the screen to get the correct letter.  Some of the touch buttons at the bottom of the screen just refused to work at all.

Now at home, and unable to fix it because the screen appears to think I am touching about 3/4 inch higher than I actually am doing.  So all of the buttons at the bottom of the iFly navigation screen are not usable.  On downloads, it thinks I am touching about 3 lines higher.  Similarily, attempting to get to the tools / calibrate touch screen -- no luck.  I bet someone has an easy solution.  The good news is that I have no flights planned for the next 8 days.

The unit was not used for about two months prior to last Friday's trip.  But it was working just fine on that flight two months ago.  Thanks in advance for your assistance.

iFly 720

There is an old thread here somewhere (at least 2 years ) that covers this problem.  The 720 has a known problem of losing its calibration. A temporary solution is to power the unit up, lay it face down, and keep it powered up overnite. Seriously. The fix is to have the display replaced, but I think that the same problem can come back. The ultimate solution is to upgrade to a 740 (either one). They use a different display that doesn't have this problem.
