If the tablet's internal GPS is WAAS capable, wouldn't it also indicate "WAAS". Apparently, the image for the external GPS also includes an ADS-B IN receiver. There are also WAAS-capable external GPS devices that have no ADS-B capabilities.

Thanks for the photos and write up. It appears that the Tripletek has a larger display screen than the iFly tablet.

IMHO if u can afford, go with the rugged and high NITs Tripltek or the iFly tablet. If you can't, the under $200 Android tablet will do just fine.

On the first post of the conversation in this channel, you should see up and down arrows to the right of the post text. Select the up arrow to vote yes. I think you can only do that once per post.

I use a Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite which is an 8 inch tablet, WiFi only, 4 Gig memory and 64 Gig storage. It has a memory card expansion slot but I don't have any extended memory installed. It was about $150 at Costco at the time. It works great and has NEVER shut down due to overheating unlike...

I would upvote a feature request as well. I would like to see it as a toggle button presented right in the 3D EFIS screen along with other toggles for the 3D EFIS view.

So you purchased both the TripleTek and the iFlyEFB tablets. Do you still have both?

Wow! One of the new tablets in the wild?

Makes sense. However, if the yellow color has been around for years, then the legend has been out-of-date for years. It should be added to the legend. Would this be a feature request? I'm curious about the details of how this works. If it is yellow and I update the database... are you saying...

When opening iFly EFB today on Windows and Apple, in the iFly EFB Data Manager map of the US, the states I have selected appear in a yellow color. I don't recall ever seeing yellow before and there is no legend item for yellow. What does a yellow color mean? I'm guessing it may mean that the...

On what platform (Apple, Android or Windows) and what version of iFly EFB (Menu > About > Version & Contact) are you running? In general, this is the procedure to update the chart database: 1 - Click on "Menu" and select "Check for Updates". 2 - You should see a map of the US. Click on the...

Response to your 1: Base subscription allows 2 devices on same platform (2 Apple, 2 Android, 2 Windows). So "yes" to both of your questions. Response to your 2: You will need to check the specs of the device. As Don stated above, Apple iPads that are cell-capable have an enabled GPS chip which...

I agree that the winds aloft data via a briefing in iFly EFB is basically unusable primarily due to the way things align, but also how on smaller screens the text wraps making it even more difficult to read. A table with borders that didn't wrap would be ideal. I wonder if it was presented in a...

Great idea to have a backup GPS in case the primary GPS signal drops. For aviation use, I now only purchase tablets that have an internal GPS chip in them for this very reason. If an external GPS device fails, the internal GPS chip "should" take over. Most tablet internal GPS chips are not WAAS...

I believe we're all trying to help but can find it difficult without knowing exactly the equipment you have and how they are connected. "u-xx w/ "echo" something or other" isn't anything I can decipher into an actual device. I can't imagine that your GPS antenna is connected to your iPad so I...
