v2.0 released!

May 19th, 2010

Fixes for running out of memory during update.
Also now adds the ‘Done’ navigation bar when rotating device after it has dis-appeared. Please single tap to hide/unhide the navigation bar.
Also added some missing VORs. This unfortunately requires recaching since the alternate and takeoff minimum file names have changed. Please see mid cycle update note.

v1.9 released!

May 11th, 2010

Please update - should fix hang on startup when out of wifi range.
Also hides navigation bar for full screen PDF viewing.
Single tap to hide/unhide the navigation bar.

May 6 charts

May 5th, 2010

Are now available.
Just run the app and it will ask if you want to update.
If you want to keep the old charts for another day, just answer NO to the question.

v1.8 released!

May 1st, 2010

Universal binary!
SkyChartsPro will now run on both the iPad and iPhone.
You only get terrain awareness on the iPad.

Also has bugfixes and a magenta route color, and remembers type of chart when exiting.

New server

April 20th, 2010

Was concerned about bandwidth going beyond limits on main server so added another server for the approach plate data.
If you have any problems, please let me know.

SkyCharts vs SkyChartsPro

April 10th, 2010

Please, make SURE to buy the correct version of SkyCharts.

SkyChartsPro = iPad
SkyCharts = iPhone

If you DO buy the wrong version, please take it up with Apple, I can not issue any refunds, all transactions has to go through Apple.

v1.7 is out!

April 5th, 2010

Please update!
Now with terrain!

Note: Since the wifi version of the iPad normally does NOT supply elevation, please use X-Plane to ‘drive‘ SkyChartsPro.

Or wait for the 3G version - it has the same GPS functionality as the iPhone 3G(S) has.

iPad users

April 3rd, 2010

Just to clarify: The regular version of SkyCharts will NOT take advantage of the full screen resolution on the iPad.

To run in native resolution and see the maps in full glory, you need SkyChartsPro.
