We Updated both the trial and the paid version of the VFR GPS navigation APP.<br />
Permissions are now treated correctly eliminating a nagging bug from when the requirement for the app writer to prompt for permissions was instituted.<br />
<br />
Lots of new formatting for all phones and tablets. There is more to come with some new<br />
easier to use screens.<br />

We have enhanced the screen with the ability to place colored radials around any point on the moving map. Simply touch an existing airport or create a new point with a long press and a "Add Radial" menu makes it easy. We have also made the Digital Navigation Read outs easier and less obtrusive to view.<br />
<br />
We have also added a new Larger Readout option for the Navigate screen. Very easy to see at a glance.<br />

Something we use ourselves. From the app you can tag an airport or LAT/LON location and the Moving Map will draw a circle around it of any diameter you wish. This makes it easy to avoid areas that are not desirable to approach. It can also be used to remind the pilot of an event like required altitude change.</span><br />

<br />
Here's How:<br />
<br />
1) Freeze the Moving Map using the OPTIONS button.<br />
2) Move the map with your finger to the location you want to photograph.<br />
2a) Optionally, switch the VFR's Map View to the Satellite View and verify the exact location.<br />
3) Long Press the location and select Store the location.<br />
4) To fly to the point you then need to Unfreeze the Moving Map from the OPTIONS button.<br />
<br />
The result of this process is that the new Point is then added to your flight plan and a Bearing Line is drawn from your current location to the point.<br />
<br />
It is now ready to fly to that point using either the Map Screen or the Navigate Scree.<br />
<br />
If you wish you can Email or Store the Modified Flight Plan for later editing or reuse. The newly stored location will be accessible until you delete the flight plan.<br />
<br />

Using the Fly To: Screen or Moving Map Screen in Flight Plan Mode the Next or Previous buttons continuously show the distance and bearing to the next and previous way point. Modify your flight plan so that the Class B airport that you wish to avoid is next to the destination that requires you to pass it. Then as you navigate to you destination, watch the distance to the Class B airspace to guarantee that you avoid it. This is a great time and stress saver.John at GiPSihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06329278650465111541noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8054666893916061436.post-9866479905235593452014-03-17T12:54:00.004-07:002014-03-17T12:54:57.554-07:00Voice Navigation hintsDid you know you can use voice navigation in the Fly To screen? It will work with the devices speakers, Bluetooth, and the headphones.<br />
<br />
To use push the Correction Entry Value on the Navigate Screen. You will get a sort "Voice Guidance ON," or "Voice Guidance OFF" message on your screen. When on an a difference between track and bearing occurs, you will be warned "Right (or Left) 005." These advisories will continue with a delay of 20 seconds between messages until the the Correction entry is pressed again. <br />
<br />
Note that these advisories will continue when you move to the MAP screen.<br />

Added Status button on map screen as a draw/delete track line to make it easier to redraw the bearing line to destination. Now either the Status button or the draw/delete plot. The two buttons are next to each other so it is easier to press either one to get the desired action.<br />

Please write or call with questions on how to use this new feature. Currently Android will prompt you to use VFR in strange circumstances. If this is a problem.

Here is a work around until we can get Android to behave.<br />
<br />
When you start
gmail, it might prompt with "Complete Action Using" screen. Set the
bottom button "Use by default for this action," , then select the proper app to run. Then it won't bother
you anymore.<br />
<br />
If this does not resolve the issue, please call me at 650-323-0148 anytime.<br />

Flying Tip<br />
If you are using the new Moving Map feature you can "spin" the screen using 2 fingers and rotating.
