    iFly, you're letting us down.....

    You introduce a new tablet to replace the 740s, then you don't even bother to show up at Sun-N-Fun to let us see it and fondle it. Not showing much love, y'know.

    New Data Card for 740b

    I do all my updates by removing the SD card and using an SD-USB adapter to plug in into my laptop. Not only is that a much faster download, it gives me an easy backup option. Every time I update my charts, I copy the old files from the SD card to my laptop hard drive, and then copy the new...

    Extended Runways - suggestion

    I haven't logged in for a while. The link to the poll doesn't work for me; did the poll close?

    Extended Runways - suggestion

    I disagree. It's simply an easy indication of a preference; whether the pilot chooses to accept the recommendation or not is up to him. It's no more "insistent" or a "trap" than the info box we can already pop up. But... It could be implemented as an option, so folks who don't want it...

    Waypoint names?

    When I create an iFly flight plan on my iPad, I'll often assign custom names to my waypoints, so that a waypoint appears as "Crystal Lake" rather than a pair of lat/lon numbers. When I sync the flight plan onto my 740b, though, the custom names don't transfer. The 740b displays the lat/lon for...

    "Nearest" Display

    Yes, but all those require multiple button pushes at a time when I might be task-overloaded. I'd like the option to display it; if someone doesn't want it, they don't have to use it. And if I have time, I can still hit NRST and assess my alternatives. This wouldn't detract from any...

    "Nearest" Display

    Along with the options to continuously display bearing and distance to next waypoint or to destination, I'd like an option to display the nearest airport that fits my filters. Obviously this would have to update continuously througout the flight, but the info is already being calculated and is...
