OK. So let's just agree the new tablet hardware is 27% less bright then my 740B using the cited specs. I find my 740B display is marginal in direct sunlight, but I fly an open cockpit. YMMV. One might consider the ruggedized Tripltek tablet, offering a very bright 1200 nit display, also uses...

Cobra, I see the resolution was changed to 1280 x 800, but the nits spec of 800 is not changed, so less bright in newest model (?), nor is the CPU type valid.

If the 14 oz 740B has 1100 nits on its 800 x 480 screen, is the new 28 oz device at 800 nits 800 x 280 screen really a step forward? The online spec sheet should also check usage of the GPU listed as "Adreno 702" (something to do with one's adrenal glands?) I suspect it should be "Arduino"...

I just used iFly connect on my 740B. Kinda painful, and painfully surprised to find no airport diagrams for Colorado! Nor did I see anything suggesting any iFly firmware updates were ever available for download. 1. Comments on the above observations? 2. Where can I see what the latest...

Unfamiliar with helo charts, but assume they show helipads. I am a gyro pilot, and usually land with light power applied. If winds and luck were in my favor, a helipad MIGHT be suitable as long as glidepath was unobstructed.

What new features does this new aircraft type support?

Cobra, I went through the MyFlightBook setup, and set my "start" at 20 kts(?). I suspect the new-found, but untried, "Gyropilots 3D Flight Recorder" will be my go-to app. I want to easily show 500 ft separation "just in case". The Trent Palmer case with recent FAA decision has me much more...

Hook, This looks like a nice app. However I am currently using the Gyropedia.com app which integrates into gyrocopter training. I will try both for a while. Meanwhile I just now found "Gyropilots 3D Flight Recorder" which integrates into Gyropedia, and runs on Android. Maybe a perfect solution...

Cobra, I discovered that a power reset is required to enable time zone changes. Makes sense now. Flt Duration added.

Hi Cobra, Thanks for the help. I will look into these flight path options. What do you suggest as a "favorite flight path viewer"? I will find and add the Elapsed timer. Thanks again. I am extra proficient on most computer issues, but the time zone thing has me baffled.

Sorry Mdreger, but your reply makes no sense to me. Can you provide explicit details, or give links to documentation or videos that would explain better? Thank you. What about Q2?

Q1. Does the 740 save all previous flight history, track and altitude? Where is this displayed? Is there a current elapsed flight timer? Q2. I live in Colorado, now on MST. Setting MST either w/w-out DST keeps showing the same time, which is one hour early. I set to PST for now.
