Yes, but with FF and GP you get a timeline dot that you can slide left/right that shows your position in both elevation and plan view. Then you can click on the map and update the flight path.

So close, but the problem is you can't 'play' it like in FF, where you have a timeline to see where impacts are, then adjust them real-time via the map. But it is close and will work for now until maybe v14! :)

I am trying to plan a 3 hour flight over new terrain and can't figure out how the terrain advisor works. I thought it worked like FF but I may be wrong. What I would like to get is a horizontal view of my elevation AGL throughout the flight, similar to the screen shot below. Is this possible...

I LOVE the airport diagram overlay on the Map view, but it causes a significant problem at non-towered airports. Although the runways lay over nicely, none of the taxiways show, which makes the feature of limited use for pilots like myself who mostly use non-towered airports. So the...

bump...

Although I have a mostly glass panel, I still don't have a real-time display of ft/nm. Foreflight has this, would love to have it in iFly. Could benefit having this both in climb and descent.

Any word when v13 will be available for Windows?

I agree with this request. It would be faster to see the preferred runway extension in green, without having to see the note in the pop-up, then review each runway to figure out which one is the one preferred. Here is Baker City in Oregon, I think this one really shows how a highlighted...

I'm amazing no one else wants cloud layers in iFly...

I really like to know what to expect for visual clouds (not cells) on my route, and maybe adjust routing so that I can always see the ground (in case of emergency). This feature is present in some other apps, love to see it in iFly. Here is a screen shot of the functionality in FltPlanGo. It...

Good point. I'll add a separate post under Feature Requests to add a cloud layer option.

This may be user error... You can see in the below screen shot that KMMV is overcast at 5000'. Since NEXRAD is enabled, why doesn't it show this cloud layer? As a VFR pilot I am looking for a visual of all clouds on my routing. For example, in this situation I would be above 5k' when inroute...

Weird, I just flew today and was getting n-numbers in iFly! Not sure why, but just happy they are there. This was a feature in FF that was missed...until now!

I just spoke with Garmin and they recommended anyone interested in this feature should reach out via this form: https://www.garmin.com/en-US/forms/ideas/ I just filled it out and requested that they publish their Bluetooth standard for the GTX345 so that more GA pilots can fly safer by...

I figure as much, I am just SO bummed because I love iFly but need traffic detail, but since it is not available on Avidyne then it isn't available on iFly. And I don't want to have to buy a separate ADS box so maybe I need to run Garmin Pilot on one iPad and iFly on the other. :(
