Updates for iFly GPS released

By Janice Wood · October 16, 2012 ·

Adventure Pilot has released its Version 7.5 Software Update for its iFly GPS. Enhancements include Portrait Mode, Interactive Instrument Mode, WAC Charts and more.

The update will begin shipping immediately and is available for existing iFly 700 and iFly 720 owners.

The Version 7.5 Software Update extends the capability of the iFly GPS with Portrait Mode, Instruments Panel, WAC charts and many other new features, according to company officials. The addition of Portrait Mode will allow the iFly GPS to be rotated for vertical mounting and improved reference of Approach Plates. Portrait Mode also provides more flexibility to mount the iFly GPS in various applications and aircraft installations. A panel dock kit supporting Landscape or Portrait installation is now available on the iFly GPS store.

A new Interactive Instrument Panel screen provides pilots a visually intuitive way of navigating with the iFly GPS. New tools include an HSI, Dedicated Instruments for Plates, an optional AHRS driven Artificial Horizon and more.

Version 7.5 adds more compatibility with ADS-B devices such as iLevil, Clarity and others, giving pilots more flexibility for in-Flight Weather options, company officials said, adding Adventure Pilot aims to integrate with new ADS-B devices as they are introduced to the market.

Pilots flying in Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean will gain improved chart coverage with the addition of WAC charts.
