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 However, if the yellow color has been around for years, then the legend has been out-of-date for years.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...

Ditto on what smoke asked... what device are you using to run iFlyEFB and what are you using for your ADS-B in?

Good for you for making looking outside the aircraft your priority and recognizing that an electronic device is distracting you from that. Use of the device is completely optional but recommended due to the situational awareness it can provide a pilot which can improve overall safety. An app can...

I wouldn't really call it a feature.

Maybe it's me... but I'm okay with the screen not being "full" full screen as I only use it the Windows app on my home PC displaying on my big monitor for flight planning only.

Looks like a patch (12.2.34) is going to be released soon to include a fix for this.
