At that price the PowerFlarm is looking like a bargain considering the additional functionality. Luke

Out of curiosity, how good is the sunlight readability of the iPad? In my opinion, only fair. The newer retina display may be different.

Interesting comment from a Stratus user:
Cons Weather is not as good as nexrad Traffic shows only a fraction of the traffic. It currently won't show Southwest Airlines aircraft and a lot more. Do Southwest operate in stealth mode to avoid leaching? Jim

I posted this because the birds are walking outside my house and there's
snow and ice on the ground. I use a Streak and it's super readable in sunlight. Never seen an iPad. "Soartech" wrote in message ...

Many power pilots use SkyDemon, a subscription flight planning and navigation service/software which runs on PC/iPad/iPhone/Android/WinCE and provides weather and notams within the subscription. A recent enhancement of SkyDemon has been to make it PowerFlarm compatible - so ADS-B traffic and Flarm traffic appear on the moving map. It will be interesting to see whether this encourages GA pilots to adopt PowerFlarm.

It would be nice to get satellite Wx to see the cloud patterns, like streets. Is there anyway to get this now? Smart phones tend to not work well above a few K feet AGL.
