No probs - I'll chuck it in for next release!

Geeks don't sleep!

One of the best parts of Ozrunways is the attitude of the developers.
Instead of defaulting to a reason why they can't do something, they default to finding a way of doing it.
Very impressive.

Do you actually NEED a download all button?

Unless you're flying a Citation around the country probably not. Remember it costs the OZRunways guys for bandwidth and will keep costs down if you only download what you need.

A better idea might be a "favorites" option where you select the maps you want once off and it downloads those ones each time a map update is required.

Ditto on he attitude of these guys. No empty promises and airey-fairey ideas on something that will never come to fruition.

when the new updates come out a button that grabs all the maps that you had for the previous cycle would be a winner

Found an issue with the search function on the airfields tab. If I go to the AIP tab and use the search function, then revert back to the airfields tab, the airfields tab search doesnt work, I have to re-start the app to get it to work again.
On Ipad2 with 5.01 and latest ozrunways.
cheers

Was alerted to an issue on the weekend.

If you have a few waypoints in the plan, then add in a waypoint it will modify the green flight path etc, but when the waypoint is removed again it will break the flight plan and you have to re-do it again.

Hi All,

Just wondering if this app/iPad combo is up for the rigours of everyday flying use. I like the look of the application and am very tempted in going for an iPad. I'm just wondering if it will replace my trusty Garmin 96 that I have used for ever and a day?

Hi Folks,

Is there any way that you can orient the maps to the direction of travel?

Just tap the location symbol (the circle with the four tick marks inside that you press to centre the map on your location) in the lower left twice - if it's blue, then it's North up, if it's magenta it's track up.

download all button please

The Mighty Creators of the realm OzRunways - Please bless us with the gift of a DOWNLOAD ALL button. :8 :} You gave us 2.6 ---- all we ask for is a download all button for all the maps and charts and all other data.

Unless you are piloting a Citation X I can't see why you would need a download all button?

Perhaps a "favourite" maps set up would be better where I can select my 5 favourite maps or similar and press download all favourites.

Remember if everyone downloads all every time an update comes out it puts massive strain in terms of bandwidth and costs into the developers, thus he subscription costs would have to increase.

VH-XXX , the DOWNLOAD ALL button feature has been requested because there is a need for it. Maybe there can be an option for both i.e.

select multiple / select all - download multiple / download all option.

for all maps and data.

Guys, it's still on our list, but we reckon we have more important things to still do! (Like more stability and planning features.)

We'll get to it, promise.

Understood it has been requested, I just don't know why anyone would NEED every VTC, VNC, inset and DAP for the WHOLE country.

The select / de-select option certainly seems logical.

Good idea to not have "download all" unless you are on wireless otherwise you might have a huge data bill coming your way!

baswell ,

1) when can we expect a major update ?

2) when can we expect a minor update ?

3) are you planning to include NZ / PNG maps and data ?

**drum roll**

I wrote a download-all button today! Will be in next release which will be AWESOME (we've just spent all week day & night coding to add a bunch of new cool stuff).

PNG maps: I don't have any that are not copyright Commonwealth Australia.
NZ maps: AirwaysNZ aren't playing the game yet. Still bugging them.

Expect a major update in a few weeks hopefully. More work/testing needs to be done on our new stuff before release.
