Doesn't seem like there's been any discussion lately involving the iPad and actual in flight use and not much in the past either.
I am toying with the idea of getting one for my wife to use in the back of our RV8. I want it to have and ipad with GPS so she can have a 'big map' and follow along as she reads (she reads immediately after takeoff then falls asleeps usually within half an hour on our trips just like in the car - amazing when there's a World to look at...) or even fly the plane using the GPS driven '6 pack' info like the garmin x96 series of GPS systems have.
Googling hasn't produced a thing yet. Surely an RV type has tried, right????
My 'technical' questions are what add on GPS module works well with the iPad in an airplane and is there a '6 pack' avionics program I can load up to work with the GPS data? If not, is there a link to anything in development intended to do that very soon?
