I bought WingX for my iPhone about a year ago. I tried flying with it and thought the screen was just to small. So I really never used it.
I now have an iPad2. I decided to give WingX Pro7 a try. What a delight. I love this software. It is so easy to use and the amount of information for flight planning is great.
This last week I had to travel for business and planned window seats on each of four flight segments. Sitting at the window in a 737, WingX Pro7 took a few minutes, but did find the GPS signal and started tracking my commercial flight. It was a blast looking out the window and spotting all the small airports and towns that we were flying over. The system keeps you informed of speed, direction, altitude and time remaining to you destination. One of the flights had WiFi on the plane, so I was able to upload the current weather database and keep track of the clouds systems below our flight as well.
Now I can't wait to take my iPad up on my next flight (rental still, my 9A is still under construction). Anyway, just wanting to report on a fun experience with good software.
