Thanks for any thoughts/tips or links to existing FltPlan Go forums or topics. My budget is what it is, and I don't own any apple stuff, nor a smart phone of any kind. I know that probably the majority of folks use ForeFlight/iStuff, and it's probably great, but solutions like "switch apps," "Android sucks," or the like won't be helpful to me. I've emailed their support several times over the years and always got the "we're working on it and hope to implement it soon" response. it'd be GREAT to have them finally support AHRS on Android. FltPlan Go Download and Install for your computer - on Windows PC 10. Offering moving maps, geo-referenced charts and airport diagrams, FBO and airport information and many other features. Just for yuks, it'd be cool to be able to get the road map back, but there's no way to NOT select one of the aviation charts. Selected it, and the sectional was displayed. I went to the "Layers" tab/offline and saw that "sectional" was deselected. When I opened the app after receiving the app update (not chart updates, the app update), the first map that showed was an actual detailed ROAD map, and I'd never seen that before. I dread the days I planned to go flying, then wake up to find out there's an update to the app that day and I have to waste an hour redownloading unexpired charts. When I click the "update all expired" button, I get messages saying "XXXXXXX is alread in queue," then the updates fail and I have to click on each chart manually to place them in the queue. When updating the app, frequently it'll tell me that all of my sectionals, enroute charts, procedures, etc., are all expired and i'll have to download them all again. I use it on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2, Android 7.0.ġ. ARE there any active forums for users?Ī couple questions, just in case anyone here is willing and able to help out. Google searches usually just come up with the same press/PR releases from Fltplan or Garmin, or reviews of the app itself. However, one the few occasions I haven't been able to figure something out by either trial and error or reading the pdf manual, there doesn't seem to be much additional help available. While we're on the subject, has anyone yoke mounted an iPad Air on the pilots side? If so, can you post a picture or two? I have an old iPad 1 which never fit comfortably but the after looking at the iPad Air I thought it might since it's about 3/4" narrower.I've been using FltPlan Go for a year or two and, at the very least, it has proven itself as one of the best EFBs in its price range. So I deleted the app and reinstalled it and it's back down to 1.2 GB, but I'll keep an eye on that. Over time and the many updates it must not have deleted old charts. I've had fltplan GO installed on my iPad for a few years and last week I noticed that I had used up 4.5 GB of storage. But I also have fltplan GO installed on my iPad - backup to pilot AND primary for checklists - and as primary on my android phone in a pinch or when I'm flying the little taildrager I have (not that I'm going to get lost 30 miles from my home field ). I like their interface best and I bought a GDL 39 for ADSB. Among the many features I really like the ability to overlay the prog charts on the map - neat! I agree with Mooneymite - it's the only thing I use on the iPad for flight planning.
