Update to previous suggestion. Learned from my partner that tapping Rwy or the preferred runway info box displays another box with airport diagram and multiple runways favored by winds in order of wind favoring. From THAT screen, choose runway to extend by tapping it, or may add a runway...

Touch-and-hold the wind-favored-runway in the airport info box to extend that runway.

Better yet, touch-and-hold the displayed favored runway info field to extend that runway.

It's a local custom. Such a large % of traffic moves N and S long the peninsula, the pilots here have adopted hemispheric rule 90° off the traditional. The most GA VFR traffic density is up and down the shoreline. The local rule makes that much safer. I agree though that maybe an option to...

The hemisphere The rule is North-South in Florida. Would need to program exceptions in other locales also. Gets messy.

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.
