another "back" button

I was flying this weekend and planned an instrument approach. While enroute (30 mi out) I loaded up the approach for a review of the procedure. It was nice to see a button that took me back to the map. However, when I got closer to my airport and wanted to go back to the approach plate, I had to go thru the regular procedure to load the approach again. It would be nice to have a flip flop button to go back to the approach plate...this is important when getting near the airport to flip back and forth between the map and the approach plate until clearly on the approach plate

if the IFLY720 already has this feature, it wasn't obvious to me

Re: another "back" button

From the Map screen, look for the History button at the top of the left row of buttons. It will bring up a menu of recently-accessed charts, so you can get back to the approach plate with only two button clicks (History>desired plate).

I also noticed when flying this weekend that from some screen(s), there was a "Plates" button, and when I pressed it it immediately took me back to the last approach plate I was viewing. I think I was either on a weather page or an Airport information page when I did that, but I remember being pleasantly surprised that the iFly seemed to read my mind!

Re: another "back" button

when you are in solid and getting bounced around, one button marked "back to plates" is much simpler than trying to remember how to get there and hit two buttons

Hey Dog, (that just sounds cool)

We talked about this and continue to look at ways to help move from screen to screen or mode to mode. The issue here is for each of these it adds a new button and the screen will become very cluttered with buttons.

Walter is looking at some way to restructure the UI and make it super efficient. It won't be for this release, but in the near future. Keep the good feedback coming, I've added this "Additional Back" or Plates/Diagram to the wishlist. Thanks again.
