Update to previously posted reply. Choosing a tablet to be mounted on panel or RAM mount or similar windscreen mount, rather than on yout lap, I've tested a few now and found the following: The ipad mini 5 or up is best bet for mobile mounting, speed, and display brightness and resolution...

Curious how 4gb of ram could be regarded as insufficient. Both the Lenovo M9 and the Samsung A9 seem to work just fine with 4gb and 400+ nits displays. But if you want to spend the money on the top performing small android tablet, the only choice is the Lenovo Legion. Performance on par with...

A9 has a 9 inch display, like the M9. Mounts to side of windscreen. Lower cost alternative to iPad mini. The A9+ is a full size tablet. Too big to mount with a suction cup.

Update: Gonna check out 2024 Samsung TAB A9 from Amazon today. A little brighter display with wider viewing angle than my Lenovo M9, and slightly smaller dimensions. More limited battery life though. At $100, Wifi version is same price as Lenovo M9, but Amazon also has a 4G cellular version for...

I've lost connection to SkySensor occasionally and had to cycle the power to it. iFly will revert to internal GPS when that happens.

I was curious to know if iFly would run on a Fire HD 8 Plus, but hesitant to chance it. I understand the display is quite bright and it has a better aspect ratio similar to iPad mini. I'm curious what is meant by "sideloading." I have read that Play Store can be loaded onto Fire tablets but...

John, I had been running the legacy iFlyGPS on original iPad mini (with external gps) for years. Display size was perfect. A used iPad mini 5 would be fine if you can live without an internal GPS. I thought about going Android, but the aspect ratio of the displays of almost all Android tablet is...

I recently suggested a verticle altitude strip instrument with bug and include an altitude departure warning.

Such a ring would typically be beyond the visible area of the map when enroute. Too many variables to update range in flight (e.g. throttle setting and fuel flow).

Add a vertical Altittude Tape Instrument to display altitude and selected (bug) altitude. allow it to follow the flight plan altitudes or tap to open window to enter temporary altitude manually. Dynamic scale for level flight vs altitude change mode. Flash alert when off altitude by selectable...

My ipad mini does not experience this problem. I suspect the problem resulted from the change in the aspect ratio when Apple removed the hardware button and lengthened the usable display areas with 6th generation mini. The same problem is much much worse on Android tablets runing iFly in...

Believe it or not, I'm running iFly on first generation iPad mini. Runs fine. Kudos to the coders!

We have replicated the failure and then sent a bug report with same description of failure: IOS devices cannot initiate connection to other IOS or Android devices to share flight plans, but IOS devices are able to connect and receive flight plans shared by Android devices.
