“Aviation and Aerospace Examiner’s Best of the Best 2010” editor’s choice in the “affordable pilot gadget” category has been announced today.
The winner is iFly 700, a FAA flight chart based GPS for VFR pilots. The amazing feature of this unit is that it eliminates the need for purchasing new FAA charts twice a year – just to be legal. What you see on the touch-screen is the official FAA flight chart.
The new iFly 700™ GPS is the perfect combination of affordability, capability, and usability. See our flight test report here: http://www.examiner.com/aviation-and-aerospace-in-national/test-report-the-ifly-700-is-a-perfect-anytime-online-updatable-sectional-chart-gps-for-vfr-pilots
No more bulky maps to deal with. The iFly 700™ is loaded with sectionals, IFR Low Enroute charts, airport diagrams, approach plates, and more. In fact, everything from planning to flying is designed around image-enhanced maps from the FAA.
Sweep your finger across the screen to scroll through the map, quick-tap to switch to another sectional, drag a route line to avoid a TFR, tap an airport to get detailed information. It is easy, intuitive, and fast.
The iFly 700™ is priced at $499 plus an annual subscription of $69 per year. The subscription allows you to keep all your databases and sectionals current, as well as get new cool features as they are added.
The 7-inch touch screen is ideal: big and bright enough to read easily in flight and yet small enough to manage comfortably. An included suction mount with multiple articulation points provides lots of mounting options. The touch screen interface is incredibly simple to use. No installation or setup required. Just turn it on and you're ready to fly!
The iFly 700 delivers comprehensive data at your fingertips. Never fly with an expired sectional again. Updates are available anytime day or night from any Internet connected computer.
