Adventure Pilot releases iFly 720 GPS

By Janice Wood · March 6, 2012 ·

Adventure Pilot is now shipping its new premium GPS navigation device for general aviation pilots. The new iFly 720 builds on popular features from the iFly 700, while new features include sunlight readability, automated Wi-Fi updating and iFly Streets.

The 720 also has premium hardware enhancements like a faster processor, more efficient memory, and an internal power capacitor, according to Adventure Pilot officials.

“The new iFly 720 gives iFly GPS a premium device benefiting pilots with extremely bright cockpits,” said Walter Boyd, president, who hinted at several upcoming software updates, including Terrain/Obstructions, Portrait Mode and Vertical Flight Planning, that will be added to the iFly 720 and 700 later this spring.

The iFly 720 revolutionizes its update process with a new automated Wi-Fi updating feature. By simply connecting to a Wi-Fi internet connection, pilots enjoy a hassle free update process, company officials said. Pilots can choose as much or little as data to update based on the time at hand. The iFly 720’s new Wi-Fi capability also adds additional expansion options to 3rd party devices and hardware, officials add.

Pilots can go from the runway to the highway with the new iFly Streets road navigation program included on every iFly 720. iFly Streets delivers voice-guided, turn-by-turn driving directions and comprehensive travel information including a complete database of POIs, lodging, gas stations and more at no additional cost.

Each iFly GPS includes high-resolution geo-referenced sectional maps, IFR Low En Route charts, Approach Plates with highlighted Special Use Airspace and more. Pilots have a full Airport Facility Directory, complete with public and private airports in a revolutionary simple to use format. The iFly 720 includes a universal suction mount, remote control, AC/DC power adapters and case. The iFly GPS also supports advanced features, including output to an autopilot and live WX from 3rd party ADS-B receivers and more. The iFly 720 is priced at $749.
