July 9, 201015 yr I was looking around the Apple app store tonight and ran across a program that just came out called Igmap ($9.99).It is a moving map program for the iphone and works with xplane, fs9, and fsx! After reading that I had to get it and try it out.It has custom maps for worldwide, and US,Alaska,Cuba/PR US Wac's and US Tac's.Skycharts which I had heads upped a few years ago is great also but as far as I know still only does xplane.This also was extremely easy to set up-very happy with it! With my ihome keyboard (the iphone plugs into it) things are very nice!A few shots: Geofa WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE-the best Flight Sim!
July 9, 201015 yr Moderator That appears to be a really cool App, Geofa! However, it's not enough to entice me into spending $$$'s just to run a $10 application... :( Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
July 9, 201015 yr Nice find! No more having to refresh VATSpy for a simple map display :( .And, luckily, I've already shelled out for the requisite hardware :(

Bill-we know as a flight sim developer you make that amount with every second that ticks by :( Geofa WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE-the best Flight Sim!
July 11, 201015 yr If FR. Bill thinks the cost is prohibitive on the I-phone I-pad, he should price the ones at Garmin and Jeppesen used in the actual aircraft. Bill Sieffert
July 11, 201015 yr Moderator If FR. Bill thinks the cost is prohibitive on the I-phone I-pad, he should price the ones at Garmin and Jeppesen used in the actual aircraft.I very aware of the costs of the Real World units... :( Relative to the cost of the a/c in which they are installed however they are "inexpensive."Relative to the costs of the average flightsim machine though, an iPod or iPad is rather more "expensive!"

July 15, 201015 yr Moderator There is a cheaper alternative. LINK REMOVED - UNALLOWED ADVERTISINGRelatively speaking, there is no problem with the cost of the App! It's the cost of the hardware needed to run the App that's the issue. Since I absolutely have no need whatever for an iPhone, iPad, or iPod, it would be a rather expensive "add-on..." :( Fr.
