Displaying TFRs

Can someone tell me how to display the current TFR on the map? I'm told the app can display them...

This is the area off the coast of South Carolina where the Chinese balloon was shot down.

Here's an example of what one looks like if you have "Shaded / Outlined" selected (former president Bush's "permanent TFR" over his residence in Dallas):

Not working.

Hint: Look for the TFR just off the coast of South Carolina (KMYR) where the Chinese balloon was shot down.

Re: Displaying TFRs

Looks like I need to file a bug report...

Re: Displaying TFRs

Yes, I suggest filing a bug report. Others have reported issues with iFlyGPS not displaying TFRs properly in the past (I seem to recall a forest fire in the pacific northwest several years ago being a big topic of discussion), but I'm not aware that this issue has ever gotten much attention.

That said, AdventurePilot has indicated that they're focused on development of their new iFlyEFB product, so I don't know how much attention this is likely to get.

My philosophy: Submitting a bug report is no guarantee that something will get fixed. Not submitting a bug report is a guarantee that nothing will get fixed.
