Just wanted to say THANKS to iFly for honoring a request on the "Distance to Go" mileage...

I asked that the 10ths of each mile be added. It was ALREADY there within 10 miles to go of destination or waypoint, but I asked that it be for ALL mileage. 

Why? I fly with multiple other planes in caravans and formations and we often accomplish en-route rendezvous using time, distance to go and cross-track between known waypoints.

By having the 10ths of miles, we can much more accurately call out to each other a more accurate distance to go to determine where a plane is when we do not see him (or do not have ADSB).  This really helps in areas of reduced vis or into direct sunlight while accomplishing a rejoin.

You would be surprised at the difference in flight between 10.2 miles to go and 10.9 miles to go! Sometimes planes are really hard to see!  Having the 10ths is a real big safety issue for us, so again, my sincere THANKS!

(See 17.3 on distance to go in photo below - a big improvement for us in our flight!)

We're super glad you requested this enhancement, because I'll bet it's helped out a number of other pilots as well, who are in similar situations.

Thank you for making the request!   I enjoy fixing things for grateful pilots who appreciate the work.  And in the end, we're making this EFB better for everyone.

Thanks Brian!

Also think it is cool you guys are SHOWING the adsb towers when they are active! Helps us know where they are in our area. Not critical, but very nice to know as we adapt to this new system in the next decade or so...

Again, thanks, Mike Marra
