Randy,
That is great to hear that you are now a believer in the iFly "dedicated devices". We wanted to get some credibility with our 700, 720 and 520 before looking into the iPad market. It's no secret, the iPad is here to stay, however it just does not work for many pilots as its not bright enough.
Yes, Synthetic Vision and Split Screening is on our internal wish list and we hope release in one of our Software Updates in the near future.
With that said, we also see the time as a huge opportunity to speak to iPad users on our simplicity of use and functionality. We will be offering an iPad App in the coming weeks. The great thing here is you can have an iFly 720 or such as you primary handheld device, then use our iFly GPS for iPad App for just $20 more a year and have a secondary backup, keeping both devices updated on one subscription. Actually, you'll be able to keep up to 3 devices updated for the additional $20 add-on option.
Think of the benefits. Navigate using your Sunlight Readable 720, and for many pilots that already have a iPad, they can now eliminate that expensive FF or WX App and have a no-nonsense, clean and functional backup for only $20 more. All the while both have the same simple-to-use interface.
Stay Tuned.
