>Now if we want to ask for a bigger button to push, to make it easier to dismiss the screen w/out reading the disclaimer, I'm all for that.<

There's an idea. How about if you make the ENTIRE screen a button for the disclaimer? I usually use the remote, but if the whole screen were a button, the warning could be dispatched with barely (or maybe not even) a glance.

I just signed a deal with a new data provider that will require we present a lot more legalese. Anyway, a bigger button should be pretty easy. Here is another idea: I could record when the button was pushed and only prompt once a month. The "Old TFR" data message could be moved to the alert button. Just thinking out loud here...no promises yet ;-)

Thanks, Walter. I think it's ridiculous that such disclaimers are a necessary part of business these days, but I do recognize that they are. I appreciate you doing what you can to make it as easy as possible for us to tell the box, "Yes, yes, I won't be an idiot, now let me see the map!" : )

Another suggestion for the "Warning" page. Since you already have the "TFR/METAR information out of date", how about a user configurable option advising of time remaining for various selected maps?

I would imagine having a page with all the map products. I could select all or some of these products for the iFly to monitor and tell me that they're out of, or nearly out of date. I know this is available in the menu, but since we have the warning screen anyway, this might add a more widely used or desired function.
