Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it!

FYI: I tried to email you with some screenshots but your email here seems out of date, please contact me directly and I’ll send the screenshots.

But your comment about ‘cycling through’ makes me wonder if you are using an older version of the application ?
After a reboot/kill of the application, and you launch it the first time, what version does it claim to be ?

The version number is in the top part of the name.
With v4.1, you will be able to choose the charts in any order, and you’ll have more charts as well.

If you have an older version, please use the AppStore to update it.
If that doesn’t seem to work, see the note below how to download it again.

For Canada: I would love to provide currents charts there too, but NavCanada have odd restrictions.
I urge you to contact them again so its easier for 3rd party map applications like SkyCharts to get access to their
charts, as it is I can’t legally add them.

For rotation of some charts but not all others, the easiest is probably to setup the side switch on the iPad to
quickly allow for rotation or not:

Also, there is NEW version of the application available, so either try the updated old version
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/skychartspro/id364731059?ls=1&mt=8

Or the new version:

Thanks again!

Hi there, after loading ios 6.1.3, my gps signal drops off. Im using the gns 5870 external gps. Before I updated to 6.1.3, everything was fine, now I am constantly having to reboot to get the location enabled on skycharts. Do you have any suggestions?

“Float” intersection is not visible on the low alt IFR chart. This caused me a few minutes of anxiety when ATC asked me to navigate direct. Fortunately, the database on the garmin 430w bailed me out. However, after further exploration on the ground, it is visible on the sectional.

ok, it works! when updating the charts on the iPad; upon completion of the download, shut down the iPad completely (Apple logo)…..or as PC people call it: “re boot” the machine. thanks skycharts!!

Skycharts is great. I am now about to purchase ADS-B. But I don’t want the apps available now.
Are you going to make it possible to view ADS-B on Skycharts? Soon?

Heikki, for some reason, my bad elf GPS chip is not working with the northeast charts.

The chip itself is working as I can go to the bad elf GPS tool and see my speed, direction, altitude, etc.

But when I go to the charts, no movement, etc.

iPad is my equipment.

It was working just prior to the most recent chart downloads. In the plane it was working very well. Now, in the plane or car, it is not working.

What do you think is causing this?

Thanks

Thanks for letting me know
Seems to work here though, do you have a specific picture that doesn’t work ?

I just tried Safari on the iPad and Chrome in MacOSX

Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a
few of the images aren’t loading correctly. I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue.
I’ve tried it in two different internet browsers and both show the same outcome.

Great. Maps: just be careful, when you cache a region it ONLY caches the maps I produce. It does NOT cache any other maps. So the new terrain will most likely not work once airborne.
