    Ok, so another question has come to mind: The ipad I have has its own GPS. Do I need to also have internet connection WHILE flying? Another question: I worked out what the "CP" is/was I saw on my flight plan. But I am not clear where I set the altitudes for the legs I have. For instance: YSHL - YGLB - Braidwood OZBAO- YCOM. I'd include a screen shot, but there are other complications. I am seeing an "alert" for hills. One just before YGLB I've set the altitude for that leg at A085. The hill is saying 2,953. That is a long way from A085. What am I missing? Completely OFF TOPIC question on the tablet. I turn it on - from being OFF, not just standby. Lovely blurred background. You have to enter password. A text area to enter they password. And NO KEYBOARD. If I tap on the screen, nothing happens. No keyboard, nada. If I tap in the text box area, I get a popup "Scan text". The only way I can get the keyboard is to put the tablet to sleep and wake it up again. Seems a bit stupid. Again: What am I missing?

    Thanks for that but I am not into bookface. I've blocked access to it.

    In the demo version of OfRunways can I add a new type of plane and make it the default? I think I have entered a new plane but can't seem to set it as the default.

    Ok, thanks. I am very new to this and last played with it a LONG time ago... Like a LONG TIME ago. I didn't really use it then either, but as EFB's are becoming the norm.... I need to get up to speed with them.

    I have just started my free trial. Alas the videos are sometimes not matching what I am seeing. So sorry, could I ask for help here? For now I'll stick to OzRunways before I take on the other one. First question: How do I save flight plans? I want to enter a few to learn how to do it so I can experiment with that part for now.

    (Just discovered it is Air Service's job to remove airports.) Yeah, thanks. I know it is a big country and they may be/are short staffed. It just caught me off guard that it is still shown.

    Ok, well I am playing with OzRunways now.... RED FLAG for me - not against the program itself but..... YPFT (polo flat airport) was DECOMMISSIONED YEARS AGO! Why is it still showing up on the map/chart?
  8. flying dog
    Ah! Silly me. No worries.

    Hi Facthunter. You lost me with that post. Oooh! Cute. Just my size!
  10. flying dog
    Yes, but .... (*what's the term?*) bargain regret? How things evolve and the sudden expanded need for memory...... Nothing worse than needing and not having rather than having and not needing. And I'd prefer a bigger screen.

    Refurbished iPad Wi-Fi+Cellular 256GB - Space Grey (9th Generation) A$869.00 From apple store (Not an apple person) https://www.apple.com/au/shop/product/FK2N3X/A/refurbished-ipad-wi-fi-256gb-space-grey-9th-generation?fnode=97dc7b0389b5a10c4bc881d962dbf62058f68847102e04a03270daec9f1939d2ffedd4edc4ab3edf5aecafa15708a18bc66a27f1053e4f5d6201abd74c1347013ad6681c6a91ba9705432f122fbb555b

    Wow.

    Sod's law. I asked, you replied and I got a notification. Sorry, but thanks.
  14. flying dog
    Sorry this may not be the best area, but I couldn't find a better named area. To the best of my knowledge they are turned on. But in my recent post on Aus Runways, I'm getting replies, but no notifications. Could someone point me step by step how to check my notifications settings? Thanks in advance.
  15. flying dog
    Thanks again all for the replies. Gee, APPLE are not helping themselves. As much as security is a good thing to have, it makes an endoscopy look enjoyable. It is shameful how poor their customer service is - IMO. (Not humble) Maybe once you are "indoctrinated" to their world, things are nice. But for people wanting to "turn to the dark side" they are nearly their own worst enemy.

    So, the specs I posted above... That is good enough for the needs. It will have little life other than EFB.
  17. flying dog
    > I am pretty happy , on balance, with my new $370 Samsung + Oz runways But the specs of that tablet are? To me that is a tease. On a side note: I hear the apple app version are better than the android - now after talking to some one. The say there are functions/features that aren't available on the android. If only money tree was more healthy just now. But life is life and you have to make hard choices.

    Refurbished iPad Wi-Fi+Cellular 256GB - Space Grey (9th Generation) A$869.00 Good?
  19. flying dog
    I *thought* (yes, dangerous) there was a screen size minimum and the mini wasn't up to spec.
  20. flying dog
    Ok, I'll confuse myself more than I am. So AvPlan is an alternate - yes? Pros/Cons of each? VFR FLYING! P.S. I've watched Stef's youtube video on the two. Thanks in advance again.
  21. flying dog
    I'm guessing that is another option to OzRunways?
  22. flying dog
    I would need you to qualify what you mean by that. All things being equal, I don't understand. BTW, I'm only doing VFR flights.
  23. flying dog
    I've just heard the Apple echo system is somewhat...... different and .... Although if I get a secondhand one I guess I am kind of free from some of that. Thanks though. I guess I have to keep an open mind. Could you give me a couple of examples of which ones would be good to get/use? Models.
  24. flying dog
    I have an old tablet (android 4.3 I think) It is out of support for upgrades of the O/S. So what tablet would I need to get to be at least be a bit of future compatible. Android preferable. I'm not an Apple person. Tab S6 Lite is one but I am not sure it would work. Thanks in advance.

    Bosi72, Thanks for reminding me.... I've updated my status. 5 years no flying is not fun.
