iPad support

[tman41291 4]

I have tried searching to see if it were already asked, but no such luck.

Is there any plans on bringing support for an iPad App for us pilots who fly with iPad support? Would love to have this as an app, although I'm sure the code doesn't just hop over lol. I figured I'd ask the question, either way I am pleased with the program.

Certainly not a hop over. More a re-write using parts of LNM. Unlikely to happen soon (if). Same applies to an Android port.

Check out the FltPlan Go app.  Uses your home wifi to connect the simulator to the iPad.  Its also a real life aviation app and is very robust. Here is a link to a four year old Avsim topic. No time right now to update the review, but it has just gotten better and better over the past 4 years.  I don't fly without it!

Is'nt it right that FltPlan is available only in NA? LittleNavMap on my IPad .. uhhh, take my money 🙂

Where can I find this fltplan app? It isn't in the play store.

Hi Folks,

Yeah - I believe that’s the one caveat - it’s only available in North America - Garmin recently purchased the company - perhaps that’s changed ?

Here’s a link to start:

Not available on my planet...I mean, UK.

Would be great to have something like this in Europe

Hi Folks,

Yeah - I hear that - as this is the ONLY source of FREE georeferenced approach plates and taxi diagrams I know of... Honestly - I've been concerned that Garmin would stop this at some point as they don't like to do anything for free...

Regards,

I was looking up to see if LNM might be available as an app on the iOS someday, but I doubted it. This thread answered that.

BUT...there *is* a way to use your iPad (or any tablet, really) for LNM. I use the spacedesk app on my iPad and a small piece of software for the PC to connect it to and it turns the iPad into a 2nd monitor. I then just simply drag the LNM program onto the iPad and maximize the window there. You're done!

I was using spacedesk for the Mobile Companion App, which is another terrific add-on I recommend, as it basically takes many cockpit controls to a slick tabbed interface where you can quickly glance at and switch various functions like autopilot and frequencies. It also has a moving map handy. Just another tool I use to go along with LNM!
