Hi Rob,

Please can we have SD for Windows Devices?

Oh, and coverage for Sudan and Ethiopia - but we've discussed that already! :-)

Brilliant bit of software.

So impressed that I ditched my Garmin 495 & Aera 500 in favour of SD running on Ipad mini.

On board GPS of the ipad has performed without a glitch even whilst buried deep in the cockpit. No external antenna required.

Agreed it's usually flawless but for the first time I lost the GPS on my iPad mini, on my knee-pad in a Warrior, for about 3 mins this week and of course I was in 6k viz on the edge of controlled airspace at the time.

In the UK I believe that the driving test (cars) is going to have a section on usage of GPS. The reason is to ensure that new drivers are able to drive the car safely while following GPS instructions AND paying attention to what is around them.

It seems appropriate to do the same for the PPL, as more people will be using these apps. It is not that hard to test, it could even be 'signed off' by the instructor. Just a simple nav triangle using a GPS device. Testing that the student can enter the route into the GPS, and use it to navigate safely. Possibly with the instructor 'simulating' the device breaking down or losing connection.
