If you want a definitive answer, I'd suggest calling Adventure Pilot's Support line during normal business hours. From: https://adventurepilot.community.forum/threads/sticky-welcome-when-asking-questions-please-help-us-help-you.27/

The iFly 7xx devices use what is called a "resistive" touch screen, rather than the "capacitive" touch screen typically used on current phones and tablet devices. At the time those devices were released, resistive screens generated a much easier-to-read image in direct sunlight compared to the...

This would either: Imply that tapping somewhere on the screen changes you to "QV Mode", and that mode would persist until you clicked a "Close" button on the QV window or something. or Result in different behavior depending on which tab you select, as to close the QV window when using the...

??? No, the behavior is the same for the NAV tab. I just demonstrated it on my device.

Despite the number of words I've written on this subject now, I honestly don't feel very strongly about it one way or the other. Mostly I was just trying to share some history. Based on that history, I think the solution you propose is likely to bother some set of users. My gut feel is that...

Reasonable people can certainly disagree over which behavior will benefit the most users. I think reverting to the APT tab is the "safer" option that will serve the largest (or confuse the fewest) number of users, but unfortunately it will not be the best choice for everyone, as your post...

This does not solve the problem I described. The NAV tab is valid for every place you can tap on the map. If a user doesn't understand that QV tabs "stick", then they will become frustrated that no matter how precisely they tap on an airport, the QV pops up with a NAV result. Example:

Whether the proposed change "would be better" is a matter of personal preference. If I recall correctly, the QV tabs used to behave the way you desire. The current behavior (reverting back to the APT tab after a short time) was only implemented after one or more users complained about being...

Thank you for posting those images. From what you've shown, it appears that you have found a bug. I have never seen the "Preparing first update..." screen you posted for more than an instant, nor have I ever seen the download status bar show red with no states showing red. Before you try to...

Could you please provide some additional information? What version of iFly are you running? (Menu > About > Version & Contact) Can you either type out the text of what it's saying, or post a screenshot? What do you see when you go to Menu > Check for Updates? Do you either see an active...

You can try it and see: From within iFly, go to Menu > About > Connected Devices > Select Wireless Device > Stratus v1 I'm not certain that all Stratus v1's will work, though. I've never owned a Stratus and am not an expert re: their usage with non-Foreflight software, but as I recall there...

Not sure what you're reading. Could you give a page number, or post a snippet here? My guess is that you may be misinterpreting something, or maybe you have found an error or an obsolete portion of the text. The legacy iFly devices--the 700, 720, 740, 740b, and 520--do not support RealPlan...

Does WingX show it in flight, or only on the ground? It's easy to look up an aircraft type if you have Internet connectivity. To do so in flight when the Internet is not available would require keeping the entire aircraft registry database onboard your device locally, increasing the amount of...

Might be nice, but that information is not available in the ADSB traffic broadcast. From https://www.adsbhub.org/docs/ :

iFly already does this, though there is a long-standing bug in the timestamp (note last couple of frames showing "--" indicating the time is in the future). See the white rectangle in the lower-left corner: https://photos.app.goo.gl/hU8Tpe62Vd3ZReDc6
