Default Using an iPad mini for soaring stuff

Jim,

The problem with these adapters is that they are limited to moving image files to/from the iPad or iPhone. They won't support IGC files.

Theoretically it is possible to move IGC files to/from iOS devices via WiFi or Bluetooth, but the app has to support it. I wrote to Andrej Kolar of Naviter some months ago about this. He replied they were exploring it for getting files from the Vertica/Oudie type of device into the iOS version of SeeYou, but so far such a capability hasn't been released.

-John, Q3

Found on Amazon or E-Bay.

The IPad camera kit has a USB adapter.
