"When you wish upon a star /Makes no difference..." where you are--because iFly GPS will find you on a Map. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKh6XxYbbIc

I wish iFly would remember the last (or several recent) text entry in text entry boxes--especially in Text Search, which I use a lot in finding places I might fly to or am just interested in. The way it works now is, I look up the name or ID, enter it into the text box, go to the airport info, and tap Show on Map. Then I explore that area. Soon I'm someplace else on the map and want to go back to the place I just searched for, but can't find it. And of course I can't remember the name or ID, so I have to look it up again.

Maybe there's an easy, foolproof way to do that stuff, but so far I'm the fool to get caught unprepared over and over.  Sure, I could make a screenshot. Or write the name or ID on my hand. If I could find a pen...

I  also wish that iFly would allow pasting from the clipboard. Copying to the clipboard would also be nice.

Have you tried the History button in the lower-right corner?  (That button is only visible when in "Tablet" mode, not in "Phone" mode...can change that via Menu > Setup > Screen/Audio Settings > Screen Layout.)

Cobra is right, you can look at history, but you're looking for search history... 

You can obviously hit "previous" if it's in the same session.

Hah. You guys are right, sort of. I hadn't paid enough attention to History, except to find past flight trails. It's more useful than I thought. (History IS available in portrait/phone mode, but you have to hit the Menu button to see it.) But History doesn't have what I'm wishing for--(1) a quick way to re-find something in Text Search and (2) copy & paste in every text input box.
