A possible solution for iPhone/iPad WiFi users: [for GPS]
Hmm this is possible but not a good use of our time; there's better alternatives out like the Dual bluetooth GPS for around $100 (which I'm even thinking of getting to make my 3G iPad1 better through heated windshields).

Thanks for the suggestion though!

Whoa dude - I just meant the little aircraft that crawls across the map!!!:eek:

But I truly think a sharp thin(ner) magenta line instead of the thick green one would look MUCH more betterer:ok:

The C195 icon not good enough huh:}

If they do a Bonanza icon, will it need a shed to live in too:E

And Forkie would like a V tailed icon in a shed too:ooh:

Agree with this - a little more 'polish' (looks wise) to bring it in line with other GPSs/apps would be great (I know it's being picky!)

What C195 icon?

As for the rest of your erudite post :ouch:

morno 20th Feb 2012 22:24

Chuck I think you'd be better off with half a Bonanza frame as the icon, not a whole one, :E.

Surrounded by smartarses:hmm:

:ok:

Jabawocky 21st Feb 2012 03:40

Well it looks a lot more like a C195 than a Bo.

Yeah, I can confirm that. The DUAL GPS is the ONLY ONE (and trust me, I've tried every gadget in my drawer), that I've been able to get to acquire a GPS fix behind the heated windshields of the triple seven. It works like an absolute charm, quick lock-on, seamless tracking at M 0.85, is easy to set up and has excellent battery life! A very worthwhile addition to the GPS equipped iPad 3G. Highly recommended!

Chimbu chuckles 21st Feb 2012 04:30

Cub maybe.

Ok forget the personalised icons - otherwise Jaba will want a Retard Vehicle :yuk:

Jabawocky 21st Feb 2012 08:51

Ok shaggie, ya better do a bonanza icon, both types, don't want forkie and Chuckles sulking now do we:E

:ok:

Ps I don't need a retard vehicle icon, no identity crisis here, besides your gps might not keep up!:suspect:

Shagpile 21st Feb 2012 09:59

Love the comments! Don't worry; better icons already in next update:

Hey guys,

Just wanted to report I had a few unexpected crashes the other day. No background apps running, only ozrunways. Crashed once when changing from portrait to landscape and another when changing the zoom level on the WAC.

Probably just a random event with nothing to do with the app but thought you might like to know. The boot back time into the app is amazingly fast though.

Also overheated it the ipad for the first time, but 40+ on the ground will do that I guess.

Avgas172 22nd Feb 2012 07:32

Had my IPhone sitting on the dash and it did the overheat thing too .... Never seen that b4

Just purchased the fill professional subsription, and I love it. Have tried the trial version in flight and the iPad GPS accuracy alone is stunning. Less that a knot difference between the G1000 derived groundspeed.

My wish list.

SARTIME box in the HUD part would be really really handy.

A UTC display alongside the local time display.

A better userguide......maybe I'm just dopey, but I havent worked out how to construct a flight plan yet.

Basically just a note you can enter? That's not a bad idea and not very hard.


A UTC display alongside the local time display
In 2.7, you will be able to "personalise" all of the boxes of the HUD. UTC time is one of them!


A better userguide......maybe I'm just dopey, but I havent worked out how to construct a flight plan yet.
One of the most important things we want to focus on post-2.7 release.

But is is actually quite easy: just tap a waypoint, select it from the pop-up on the map and select "add to flight plan". A new flight plan will be created with that as the first point. Repeat the same for the next points.

mcgrath50 3rd Mar 2012 05:19

Maybe a SARTIME alarm? I know NAIPS does it and you can set your own phone to have alarm, but why make it hard for us pilots! So when you enter it into the box, it will remind you ten mins before?

nomorecatering 3rd Mar 2012 05:54

Some other ideas but not sure if practical.

Wish there was a tab/button/icon like the one for the aip, where we could make it a document that we want, such as the POH for the aircraft, co ops manual, that we load in outrselves. So when we are flying, if you need to look up something you can do it through oz runways. Oh weight & Ballance too.

Aimpoint 3rd Mar 2012 06:51

Is the risk that adding all of these 'nice features' that have nothing to do with Ozrunway's core product could affect what made it so good in the first place?
