I think there is a gross misunderstanding here. These devices are excellent to have for situational awareness and emergencies. However they are meant to be used as a supplement. By no means should a flight be made by sole reference to an ipad. Excellent tool but never become complacent in a cockpit. Always remain vigilant.
Hi, I love Air Nav Pro. I find the only real option for pilots in Europe who want to declutter their cockpit. However, I have a problem I can't fix. I bought a map in the map store on my old ipad 1 and now have an ipad 2. Unfortunately I cannot find a way to transfer the previous map purchase to my new ipad 2. Is there a way to do this?
to a certain extent i can relate to what you are sayoing, but: this system is ot for the Cirrus SR20, Mooney or King Air owner but is meant to be used in aircraft that have no gps navigation on board.
Are the internal GPS chips getting help from externals at all?? Is it possible to use them in a normal airline flight from a passenger window seat?? If not, what device(s) would make this possible?
@candidamusic You actually turn off the cell and wifi data (wifi optional since it doesn't cause interference) the GPS works well for situational awareness. Great tool when IFR. It's nice to see your airplane on the airway as a backup to the panel mounted gps. I also use Jeppesen Mobile TC for my approach plates. Another great tool but I ALWAYS have paper charts to back them up.
If you have an Iphone 3gs or 4, and fly a decent amount, this is a necessity. Its $40, and the gps works great! Pretty cheap considering a garmin 396 is in the $1200 region.
I would probably get the iPad JUST for that :p!!! I am currently the iPhone's MotionX GPS, since a bunch of "Chart Applications" are only U.S., and I am in Canada, so that is my only option (at this point...). Do you know of an app that has Canadian Charts?
I cannot seem to get any weather data. The information boxes for stations such as KLGA or KFRG (that I've selected) just remain blank.

@formfaktor your statement about the european pilots is true. The US-pilots can do much more with Ipad.

were getting "too many nifty gadgets' in the cockpit. period.
i don't NEED another HSI display, on an IPAD, or to feel i have to reference
4 or 5 redundant NAV info sources, to execute and end, a successful flight.
this is getting utterly ridiculous. how many goddamn LCD screen devices do we need?

Do you need an extra GPS mouse connected to iPhone via Bluetooth? Or is GPS signal always sufficient?
