That is highly likely, imo. At least the FAA is accountable and (glacially) responsive to citizens unlike our telco, internet, broadcast and other mega-corporations (and they have some semblance of...

Thanks for another strong reco for FlyInn. I'm sure we'd absolutely love going with them, but my sense so far is that our battered budget couldn't stretch that far. As you may have noticed, I put...

Thanks for the link. It seems to be nearly all about airline and IFR pilots, but maybe at some point it can help me connect with GA people there or from elsewhere who have done what we're hoping to...

We may do some of that, but so far my vision is to arrange a plane we can take for a few days. My main interest is in touring the country by air, supplemented by ground experiences. This is how we've...

This was helpful to know this morning, as I began seeking info online. At first it seemed there wasn't much but your reply helped sustain me, and now I'm starting to accumulate links and info. At...

Hello Kiwis and NZ aviators,

I've just posted a query with this title in the Hangar Talk topic at this link and wanted to also post here in the AirVenture topic in the hope that Kiwis and NZ...

My wife and I have a 172Q based at KSBA and are planning a trip to NZ in December. We've flown VFR in every U.S. state (except HI until this November), Canadian Province, and two islands in the...

Avare https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ds.avare has IFR features (may add geo-ref plates), but I fly it VFR. Because I prefer FAA VFR charts to the Jeppesen on my GNS430 I started...

I've been following the development of Avare, the free open source aviation app for Android. Recently, some AddOn apps have been released, allowing Avare to interface with devices external to the...

Update: I've discussed this further with Zubair, and neither of us has the expertise to quickly and easily build a web interface for geo-calibrating the FAA Airport Diagrams. If anyone reading this...

I'm happy that we're now up to four volunteers. Even if nobody else joins in we could at least do some of the most popular GA airports.


I'd appreciate if you'd install again and let me know the...

Thanks for the feedback. I'll look into creating an online interface so we can calibrate the free FAA Airport Diagrams for use in the free Avare app. That way even volunteers without an Android...

In re-reading my hastily-written question above, I'm realizing it's pretty hard to understand. In essence, I'm asking your opinion on this question: will EAA members volunteer to spend a few minutes...

As described in two recent posts, I'm volunteering my help with the new free (with no ads) open-source Aviation GPS app named Avare. It already has enough cool new features that I've canceled my...

Thanks for the report. It's helpful getting reports from lots of different pilots using different Androids.



Because most pilots will use it, the AFD database is built into the app so you don't...

Thank you all for the helpful feedback. I've passed it on to Zubair, and we'll be keeping your feedback in mind with future updates. He's added Terminal Area Charts (TACs) to the latest update, and...

Hi,
I'm a VFR GA pilot who's dreamed of ultralight flying for decades, and still hope to get into it. I have a question for all you lucky ultralight owners and pilots: Do you ever use GPS?

I'm...

Avare is improving so fast! We're at version 2.6, and another Update will probably happen soon. It now lists the 50 Nearest airports, and several other new features have been added since v2.5 plus...

Yes there are currently two methods: 1. While using Avare, temporarily use Settings/Display/Screen timeout/Never timeout. 2. Permanently use Settings/Applications/Development/Stay awake (while...

Version 2.5 of Avare is on the gPlay store now. Lots of improvements in recent versions, most notably options for Portrait (vertical) display orientation and AK/HI Sectionals.

The new database...

So odd how different devices act differently, even though he's been so careful to use only the published Android coding guidelines. Some of the relatively few issues reported have probably been...

Like the Sectionals, it also goes well into Mexico.

Looks like I was wrong about the charts being cropped at the border. Seattle Sectional is, and we're looking into what happened there. But I just now browsed the east coast, and it goes all the way...

Must be so disappointing for you! I checked on gPlay settings for Avare just now, and it was already marked as "free" in Canada, so I set it as "free" for the entire world. Changes on gPlay seem to...

A friend has just released a new free Android VFR moving map GPS app that includes all lower 48 Sectionals & AF/D info, full functionality in Airplane Mode (no data access required in use), and...
