Faster downloads, ROUTES, and automatic sequencing of way-points in routes.
For routes, just enter for example: KUAO RAWER UBG WINLO KOLM 110KTS 9.6GPH
1.5.10 released
Finally got a crash-report (but I still can’t reproduce how it happens exactly!) but seems like after accepting a call the ‘direct’ route is never saved to disk so it crashes on start-up when reading a NIL field when its trying to restore the Direct.
v1.5.10 is hopefully the last of the 1.5 series, 1.6 will have new functionality, hopefully I can release it an a couple of weeks after beta testing ?
For the other 1.5 releases, check the roadmap.
iPad update
Looks great on the large display!
SkyCharts is now fully functional in the simulator, lets hope the devices start shipping soon.

You will be asked to update 1-2 days before the January charts expire.
iPad
If you’re wondering: I’ll make sure SkyCharts runs on the iPad.
Stay tuned.
Jan 14 charts
Are ready, but need an app update before they can be used.
Hopefully Apple will be as quick releasing as they have this year.
v1.5.6 released
Another fast release from Apple – wow, they must have improved something in their release flow ??
In any case, v1.5.6 adds a new power setting – enable it for the old behavior where display doesn’t blank in battery mode (turning off display greatly reduces power usage).
The memory footprint has also been reduced, getting a memory warning should be very infrequent.
To reiterate: PLEASE let me know if you have problems. But you can’t just say ‘it doesn’t work’, please be specific.
Also, due to the large database it requires a lot of memory, and that’s something the 3G does not have. If you have any issues, please reboot the phone, then delete and re-install to make sure the app starts in a good place.
To contact me, see the ‘Contact’ side bar, or register on the forum.
v1.5.5 is released
Wow, SUPER fast approval from Apple, only 2 days!!
In any case, enjoy the new IFR low enroute & TAC charts
You can now also select Track up or North up on the fly.
FYI: If you prefer North up and don’t care about Track up, please select North up in the settings for SkyCharts since it will run faster in North up.
