I like thermal assistant in iGlide better than my LXNav s100.

I bought a iPad mini 4 to dedicate to just soaring but the screen was not quite as bright as my iPhone 6s Plus. The problems I've had with iGlide have been self induced for the most part. And the little bit of reconfiguring after loss of parameters is not that big a deal. I may dedicate this iPhone to soaring but has been one less item on check list and one less item to charge up.

Casey, could you please describe how to use the "thermal assistant"? I have yet to figure that out. Am running an iphone 6 +, with Bad Elf gps and iGlide advanced. I may use an iphone 5S on the dash this season? Last year I used a 6 plus on a knee board, because its too large for the dash.

The Thermal Assistant only comes with the Pro. If you originally purchase the Advance and upgrade to Pro, it will remain the Advance Icon but will have pro features purchased in the settings. Air Glide calls it Climb Optimizer in the list of Pro features. The Thermal Assistant / Climb Optimizer is automatic.

I like having my iPhone on a Ram mount closer to me so I can see better and touch the screen easier. Short arms and vision not as strong as it use to be.

I would not purchase the Pro just for the thermal assistant - it isn't that good, particularly with no Air Vario connected. If you are racing, then the Pro is desirable of necessary, to create the correct turn points.
