iFly GPS Forum

Agreed that this would be a HIGHLY desirable upgrade. There are lots of threads on IPAD/Foreflight vs IFLY and this gives Foreflight an edge. People seem overly enamored with the utitlity of IPAD and try to rationalize that it's an all encompassing aviation aid when, in reality, it is way too glitchy for serious, stand alone, cockpit use. The new foreflight issue of price (now $150 a year with georeferenced approach plates), will reduce the ship jumpers from Jepp but may move a few folks their way from IFLY who want that capability.

They may not target it that way BUT it IS the same market. There's only so much room in a cockpit and it's doubtful you'll see pilots with both devices since they are large & there's a lot of duplication. Also, the cheapest IPAD is $499 plus $99 for external GPS (cheaper & better than internal). With the pro subscription at $150, that's 25% subscription to base cost annually.
