It appears I am finally going to pull the trigger on getting an iPhone.  There are no shortage of options to support flying the RV-10 but from the discussions I have read it looks like folks really like Skycharts and Foreflight.  It appears that the chart updates on Skycharts is free, can anyone confirm that?  Also, are there other apps I should check out?  New toys...I mean tools...are so much fun.

  

 Thanks,

 Marcus

 Both Skycharts and Foreflight include chart updates as a part of their annual app fee.

I have a Iphone and foreflight.  I love the app on the Iphone, but the best is the foreflight on the Ipad.  



One foreflight subscription works for both devices.

Ditto here.   I have skycharts, foreflight, and wingx.  Foreflight is  

my favorite.  They are all different in some way.  They all have ipad  

versions that are even nicer than on the iPhone. Foreflight is the  

only one that transfers your subscription to both devices.

You know what the iPad & iPhone have in common? Neither make phone calls.

See you all at OSH.

Actually SkyCharts also transfers your subscription between the iPad and iPhone...  Along with Foreflight, as you mentioned....

I have SkyCharts Pro on both the iPhone and iPad.  I only paid for it once and it works on both.....  Of course I have both the iPhone and iPad on the same account with iTunes.  In fact, my wifes iPhone has it on there also, and again all 3 are on the same iTunes account, so you only have to pay once.....

I had previously used SkyCharts, before Pro.  So today I

re-purchased (if you purchase regular you have to re-buy to get

pro, now that they offer it)...so I had to buy pro even

though I owned standard. Not that big of a deal.

I do find that although it's nice, it is far from as complete

a program as Foreflight.  Like I said before, they're all

different. WingX is the only one with a more regular GPS

screen, and it has Geo-Referenced approach charts as an option

(for what I think is an additional cost).  They're all just

different but I think WingX is much clumsier to user.

Foreflight has the best layout and useability of the more

featured programs.  If you just want charts, SkyCharts pro

looks to be a good choice.  I actually use Foreflight probably

more for the weather and planning features than I do in-flight

though.  Some of that will depend on your avionics choices.

personally, I think they're cheap enough that for a year,

if you can afford an iphone or ipad, you may as well buy all

3 and try them all.  I just now got skycharts Pro, so i'll

see how that goes...doesn't seem like it is a whole lot more

filled than standard that I had before.  It's download manager

isn't as nice as Foreflight.  WingX's is simple, but I don't

know that it's downloading nearly the same amount of data.

Foreflight is awesome for filing flight plans, which is one

of my more common uses.

Thanks for the iPhone replies,  I will start with Foreflight when the phone shows up.  One other question, anyone have any luck receiving weather updates while airborne?  I suspect not but it sure would be nice to replace my xm wx subscription.

It should probably be pointed out that cell phone operation airborne isn’t exactly legal per FCC regs.  Unless I’m missing something any updates to the iPhone/iPad flight apps for weather are coming via the data connection over the cell service.  The location is via GPS (with cell triangulation help) but I don’t think ou can turn off cell service and leave GPS active on the iPhone but that is a guess.  Haven’t really played with that on mine yet.  

   

Maybe someone else on here can clarify.

Hi Richard,



Yes you certainly can turn off cell data independently

in an iPhone.



Why bother,  when has the FCC sought to investigate

or prosecute cell use in GA.
