I think I asked this earlier but cannot find my own post.........keeping sectionals updated along with low enroute charts....and other time sensitive charts is a bit difficult to manage...has any additional consideration been given to allowing the user to select the charts they use...for example I would only need southeastern US data.... and have your system automatically generate the needed information when the user might log on? Or perhaps a reminder from the iFly when it is booted about which updates might be needed. Just my opinion.

This is on the todo list, we'll be adding some bells and whistles to make chart selection easier.

I'd like to see something a bit more radical.

I want to be able to take the card out of the iFly and put it in a reader in my computer and either run an app or go to a web page and have it figure out what updates are needed and update the card. No USB, no thumb drive. I could take the card and know that it is completely current.

If I had that I'd get a second card and swap them - the iFly would never need to be in the same room as the computer.

Great minds...;-). This is in the works, should be available sometime in 2012. I'm a bit worried about supporting a distributed app, but the benefits to our customers will make this worth the hassle.

Thanks Walter......beta tested a lot of "stuff" and I do not think I have ever had such a response to suggestions....even ones that might not be feasible.
