I know this was discussed long ago but I couldn't find the thread. Data updates would be much easier if we could select regions graphically on a map instead of checking off each area and associated file type. Its executed perfectly on the iPad app.

Let's see it on the 7xx series too.

I'm pretty sure the AP response to that prior request was that it was in the plan to eventually have the 7xx update process have the same look-and-feel as the phone/tablet update process.

I believe you are correct but it's been several revisions and am kind of surprised it hasn't happened yet...especially with the move to version 9.

This is on our todo list, but it's a bit more complex as our current update app accomodates data as well as updating the software, which is tricky. In the tablet/phone world, the software is updated via the Play or App Store, so the map-based updater only has logic for updating the data. Will need to be overhauled to work on iFly devices, or with iFly Connect.

But, we'll get there.

Thanks Walter.

Perhaps there is an easier method. Could you create a selection of "regions" at the top of the list which would then automatically select all of the related files? Each region would be a fixed collection of states by AP. So if the user selects a particular region "Northeast" for example, all the related sub-files are checked. If they want something else they can use the existing selection process.

Normally it's not a big deal the way it is now but I've had a few instances where there is a large update and I'm under a time constraint. So now I have to manually search the list and make the relevant selections with the possibility of inadvertently missing something.

Thanks?

Dave

PS - V9 is incredible!
