No I haven't used it as I am not using my iPhone in flight but I know Jerry was making enhancements to it recently.

I’ve used iGlide for 2 seasons. This year, I upgraded to the advanced version because I wanted wind information. To get the wind data they say to make “ two circles� but it takes way more than that.. I’m not sure what bank angles work best but medium bank did not make any difference on my last flight. Also, I moved my BadElf Pro to a visible spot on the dash to help with GPS reception. I use an iPhone 6+ on a knee board and it connects with a Bluetooth. On one long flight (4 hours) my iPhone battery went pretty low, %20, so an extra battery pack would be needed for longer flights. I don’t use the OLC function, but downloads of flights into Google earth are really cool, with altitude/ground track displayed in a ribbon fashion. The airspace waring is verbal and works really well, (I fly right next to Class B), but the distance in kilometers is what you really keeps clear. You can change the data screens to just about anything and the data uploads are a breeze, just be sure to update before each flight. Also, I created a polar for my make and model glider to ensure the glide ratio to airports/points more accurate.

For wind data with iGlide, you really want the Air Vario. Then you will get accurate intertially derived wind data calculated 20 times a second. it's only $3K

I just installed iGlide lite. It allows one set of info boxes. Does anybody know if the upgraded versions allow more than one set of info boxes? Such as one set for thermalling, another set for cruise, etc?

Thanks!

Unfortunately, the lite version is too lite. You have lots of options with the advanced version.
