• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

iGMapHD for iPad

G stands for "Google"!

GMap and iGMAP and GMap for Android all use Google Maps for the background map. The mobile versions for i-things, and the Android version for tablets and smartphones use a worldwide database for navaids and airports (so you won't see fictional airports like KHCM and KEWL). You can add the same worldwide database to the free PC version for $15 from fswidgets.

I use both the PC version and the Android version. But for flight-plan creation and moving map functions, I prefer the freeware Plan-G on the PC.
 
I use it all the time on the iPad and really like it. I mostly fly in the US, so it gives me sectional, WAC, or IFR charts on the moving map.

FSWidgets just released their EFB app and it has a Google map based moving map as well. It also has Dropbox integration, so you can load approach plates and manuals to Dropbox and then access them through the app. The moving map is not as detailed as in the other app, but works fine for most of what I need. You can also load weather maps in this new app.

cheers,
steve :wavey:
 
I've ported Andoid 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) to my HP Touchpad and have FsMovMap running on it. Works very well when I invariably get lost when flying into IMC conditions during a VFR flight!:icon_lol:
 
Thanks for the input. I tried out FsMovMap on my HTC phone and it works like a charm :) Only downside is that it's on a small screen. But if that iPad app does the same and more then I'm sold. I'll give it a try.
