Smartphones as EFBs for the NGX

Featured Replies

Ok, if you fly the NGX a lot, then read this.

 

I always thought that to have an EFB style thing for yourself you'd need an iPad or similar tablet. Well guess what? A smart phone works just as perfect! I didn't know about that until like right now...

 

I'm now using AirCharts, and I can finally have everything I need (Approach maps, etc.) without having to print them. This reduces this pile: (I have 43 airport diagrams printed, but approach/departure stuff I used on the computer)

To one small device.

 

 

 

 

So, if you have a smart phone (Android, iPhone, etc.) then do what I'm doing.

Well, it is a little hard to read, but, on my phone, I lock the accelerometer then flip it sideways. It makes it much better.

Coolio. What keeps you using FS? Guess FSX has more FPS? ^_^

And what's that?

IPad + Jepp Mobile TC :Nerd:

 

I've had the trial since I got my iPad, but Jeppesen is very expensive for private use. But imo it's by far the best!

I agree it's very expensive, sadly. :-/

Surely, if you install and fly the PMDG737NGX, you have figured out how to use Google by now ??
