now know why i havent found them. thanks john. all the airports i've tried so far are non-towered. another question then: do you know if i can see my progress on the airport diagram as i move about on the taxiways?
Yes, if an airport diagram exists for a given airport, it will be georeferenced and you will see your location on that diagram as you taxi. (Note that until you start moving, the direction the airplane is pointing may not be accurate. So engage your brain and make sure you orient yourself before you start rolling!
Once you start moving, the icon will generally point in the right direction as you taxi, unless you come to a stop and make a tight turn (like for a runup or as you pull into a tiedown spot).
The iFly doesn't have a compass, so the only way it knows what direction you're pointing is by looking at a few GPS fixes in a row and seeing what direction you're moving in.
