Oh I see now... you are talking about the difference in displayed altitude of the traffic near you. I was looking at the "ALT (AGL)" at the top of the screens in each screenshot. I'm sure the traffic displayed altitude data is from the ADS-B data stream associated with the target. I'd be...

I consider GPS altitude to be an estimate due to GPS drift. Your screenshots show a 20 ft difference between the two devices. Were you able to set both tablets to the same thing Cobra described and if so, do they show identical numbers afterward?

Yep. I just watched the Blancolirio YouTube vid about that accident. I upvoted this feature for the safety aspect it would provide.

If the FAA's AFDs (or whatever their called now) are digitized and indexed, it would be nice if the AFD information about the airport could be brought up with a single click. I currently use another product on another iPad to bring up such info in flight.

The email does cover two different iFly EFB tablets. The first one (closest to the top of the email) and labeled "The iFly EFB X7 Aviation Tablet" is the newest iFly EFB tablet which is built on the Hugerock X7 tablet with iFly EFB installed plus some other hardware goodies. The second one...

I use the Stratus III. It works pretty good but it does seem susceptible to shutting down due to heat when it is on the glareshield. I often place something over it to shield it from direct sunlight. I also carry a Stratux as a backup to the Stratus.

You might consider fabricating a cover plate for that hole with a mounted RAM ball and using a short double socket 1" RAM arm to attach to a tablet holder similar to what @Cobra displayed. Be careful if installing anything in a certified aircraft because the FAA is the FAA. Ask your mechanic to...

I found this interesting as "Power" and "Volts" are not the same. My understanding was that the USB voltage standard is 5 volts. However, I did find this interesting bit of information on the Internet: https://www.quora.com/Is-USB-always-5v It appears that the USB standard is 5 volts, but a PD...

Is this the case for the Starlink mini devices currently mounted in airplanes?

Currently, the use case for that is limited to newer iPhones, Android phones and Android tablets. However, I suspect this will be changing soon and would require users to purchase a new device to take advantage of satellite service connectivity. I feel that the most prevalent use case at this...

Google is your friend! I used a Stratux (DIY) prior to the Stratus 3 becoming available. I now have and use the Stratus 3.

Those belong to Android. Give Google a shot. G = some kind of Google notification keyhole = some kind of account authentication notification left & right arrow with exclamation point = no internet data All found by Googling.

I attempted to set up the Windows default email app as "Chrome" (the only Google-type app listed in Windows). After restarting Windows and testing the bug reporting feature in the iFly app, it still brought up Outlook to send the email. You can either follow Cobra's recommendation or submit a...

This would only be truly effective if our devices were 100% connected all of the time. However, we don't seem to have a "master database" in the cloud that we can manage and sync with. That would be nice. We seem to be managing multiple device databases stored in the cloud. I handle this by...
