Default Butterfy Avionics iPhone Navigation for Glider Pilots

Been using for 8 months including a couple contest days at the seniors and most of the CC camp following.

Excellent UI. Very strong soaring functionality. Some aspects still missing such as statute miles :-(

Task functions otherwise excellent. Extremely easy to configure and manage tasks.

I have an iPhone 5 but the screen is still a touch small. Could be outstanding on an iPad mini mounted on the panel.

Price is high if you compare to XC Soar but iOS is probably more stable. I have had some issues with android crashing on the dell streak which only able to run android 2.x. Free is free but not perfect.
