That's really great. Thanks for sharing. I have been using Skyvector to create plans and then importing directly into XP11. I then use Little Navmap which when also connected to XP shows another good moving map. Being a RW pilot I sometimes use Foreflight on the iPad and it also communicates with XP11. Again, great idea using FltPlan Go.

You need to purchase X-Plane to GPS from the Google store if you're using Android device. It will not connect otherwise. I think there is an issue with the Android version of fltpln go because it works on my wife's iPad.

Once you have setup X-Plane to GPS in fltpln go select your devices GPS as a source as it connects to X-Plane then sets the device location to wherever your aircraft is located. Just make sure it's running and receiving data from X-Plane before you start fltpln go.

I've been using this combination on my Tab S2 with no problems.

Hope this helps

Does FltPlnGo only work for North America?

Hi Keith,

Yep - only North America... As a long time user of FPGO - yeah - that's the one BIG caveat... I actually spoke with FltPan.com on this and they even have the distribution blocked now in most places other than North America because they received so many complaints... It's truly a shame they don't have world wide coverage as it's a perfect complement to flight simulators... It's also the only source of FREE geo-referenced approach plates and taxi diagrams that I'm aware of...

Regards,
Scott

there is also an android version of this app. But it only seems to work in a very limited number of countries and also on a limited number of devices. It is not compatible with any of my numerous android devices. I have used X.Map, but it is fairly basic.

I can second the use of X-Plane to GPS. It works fairly well and is easy to set up. I think you need to put your device in developer mode and allow 'mock locations' in order for it to work.
