Actually you will cache the high enroute IFR charts in the Dec 16 chart update, but you will not be able to view it until v2.5.

So: no need to re-cache once v2.5 is out, it will use the already cached data assuming you got updated to the 1013 cycle.

The only thing that I miss is the High Altitude IFR charts. I see it in the roadmap… Yes to 2.5!

Although 99.9% of the time ATC routes us via direct to fixes above FL180… I had to scramble out the paper charts when their radar went down…

Thanks!
Sorry, currently the app is only maintaining the cache on chart updates (i.e every 28 days) since its so time consuming.
So only select what you actually intend to use when airborne.
On the ground and with good wifi you don’t need to cache anything, it will download as you go.

How do I delete caches? Can we please adjust aircraft symbol sizes?

Thanks for a great app.

Good job! I like that I don’t have to select separately VFR/IFR/TAC.
Downloading big chunks to make sure user has all necessary maps cached wouldn’t work. There will always be a cases when people fly between zones. Having Skycharts being able to chose the right maps to cache based on start point and entered destination will be much better.
Also it will be really nice to have ability to save actual flight path and altitudes for later offline processing.
Thanks a lot,
Artiom

Excellent! I very much like selecting my cached areas this way.

Thanks! FYI: v2.5 is currently in beta testing, you will like what it brings to the table.

Sorry, not possible right now.
Reason: Too many users not caching enough once airborne so this will make it easier to get enough data.

Great app, on both ipad and iphone. One thing, could you give us state by state chart selection? I don’t need all the one’s you’ve got grouped together in one group, but a few from 2 groups, which means I really have to download a lot more than I need.
Thanks!!
