Yes, you can get an external GPS unit that you can stick on your dash or elsewhere, like with a suction cup near the window. Sorry to be so dense, but my buddy just loaned it to me for a flight a few years ago and I never got any details, but having wx enroute was so helpful - any and all details that anyone could provide would be appreciated! What does this app give you, and what minimum hardware do you need? If I could get access to weather data (specifically radar) enroute, I'd be willing to buy a different tablet, if that's what it takes. I also have an iPad that only has wifi, but would like to know, can I adapt this with some sort of add-on hardware?

He had some sort of adapter for it that sat on the dash and acted as a GPS antenna (?) Whatever it was, you could get ground based weather radar, and his did indeed show the aircraft. I'm wondering if this is what I borrowed from a friend a while back (and would very much like to look at getting for myself).

GPS doesnt require data so if you download all the maps and charts and save them, you wont need to hotspot. Redneck_pilot86 wrote:I use it on an ipad with wifi only. From there you can quickly do the update.

You will quickly see if you forgot to do an update, and anything is out of date. Periodically go to the "downloads" page, and tap on the button "Downloaded Files". When selecting map layers, selecting "IFR terminal" will also show the low charts. When editing a route, put in your departure and arrival airports, then go to the map, touch-hold-then drag the line to intermediate navigations fixes as required. the old data will not be displayed if you download new stuff, but it will sit there and take up memory.ĭownload all the publications as well. You will need to periodically delete outdated data. 0$.Īs stated above, download all the maps and charts periodically as needed. I have been using this ap for a few years noW. But if that's not a big deal to you, then you should be fine. So your location will not show upon the maps and charts etc. The wifi version doesn't have any gps capability. Downloading current plates last minute can be a pain when you don't have access to internet or the internet is slow.Ĥ) Play around with it a little, or a lot, at home or when VFR to get used to it at first. The app allows you to download the next release a few days early. You just flip through them when needed, less digging around.ģ) Make sure you keep your plates/maps/docs updated. that way you just open the BINDERS tab, and select the binder you created with all these plates in the right order. STARs, approach you plan, taxi (dest), STAR for alternate, and approach for alternate, taxi (alternate). Even if you don't use them, it's good to have them there in case you need them and not having to rely on wifi to download them.Ģ) Use the binder feature, when flight planning place all your plates in the chronological order: Taxi (dep), SID part 1, SID part 2. Will you always have a cell signal wherever you're flying?ġ) Download everything and more that you may need, don't forget about the 'documents': CAPGEN, CFS sections (FIC/RIO, emergency, general, planning restrictions, preferred IFR routes etc.), and the various map legends. Relying on wifi (from hotspot for example) without downloading data prior is slow and just not even worth considering, a responsible pilot will have everything prepped/downloaded ahead of time.

If you have everything you need downloaded, you don't need access to internet anymore to fully use the app. You download all the maps/plates/docs ahead of time at home or wherever using wifi.

So if you want the GPS advantages such as georeferenced approach plates and maps, then you could look into borrowing or buying a bluetooth GPS adapter, there are plenty of options on the market. Since your unit is wifi only, it doesn't have a GPS unit. Has anyone used this app in flight by making a wifi hotspot with a phone? Anyone have some tips? My tablet is not a cellular tablet (wifi only).
