I heard rumors at Sun'n'Fun that ForeFlight will have traffic by Oshkosh. Why are so many reluctant to accept the fact that Apple is in the lead for tablets (computers also) and by the time others "catch up", Apple already has an even better product out. The iPad is a bit more expensive but for those of us flying Mooney's, the extra is negligible. I've just ordered the iPad 2 only because I need the camera for Skype. Anyone want my original? Quote
scottfromiowa Posted July 23, 2011 Author Report Posted July 23, 2011 My wife ultimately decided on the I-Pad II. She has enjoyed it and uses it exclusively to surf while in front of t.v. and a little e-booking. I bought a yoke mount to get her "tracking" our progress in the air to improve her GPMS skills. I wonder if it is possible that Garmin (I have 696 panel mounted) will release a sofware update for 696 that would include a VFR synthetic view? Maybe as Dave says liability and other products will not allow this. I look at it that rather than "cheating into the soup" with the capability...as with the existing panel back-up on the 696 this could be a life-saver with inadvertant VFR into IFR... Anyway NO pad for me...yet. Quote
