Full-Featured Navigation, High-Def Charts And Full ADS-B Support

Adventure Pilot has announced the addition of iFly GPS for Android. iFly GPS is available on the Google Play Store and the App Store with a 30-Day Free Trial. iFly GPS is full-featured on both the Android and iOS platforms; there are no significant differences in capabilities across these platforms.  The app is designed to enhance the flying experience through a comprehensive and intuitive user interface, complete with larger buttons and text. 

“We’ve had an incredible response from pilots wishing to beta test our app.  We’ve seen thousands of downloads and have proven success across hundreds of device types," said Walter Boyd, President of Adventure Pilot. "Pilots are telling us they love the charts, the features, the ease of use, and they love how we [Adventure Pilot] listen and respond.  Creating a world class navigation app for Android is a critical priority for us, and I believe we have delivered on that goal.”

As planned, the iOS, Android and iFly GPS models will share the same look and functionality starting later this Spring, making iFly GPS the first completely universal pilot navigation solution.

iFly GPS for Android delivers the same full-featured moving map navigation found on the iPad version with advanced features like Geo-Referenced Hi-Def Charts, Approach Plates, de-cluttered Vector Mode, AutoTaxi+, RealView and more. 

Both Android and iPad versions include the company’s exclusive Hi-Definition VFR & IFR Charts for improved readability on non-sunlight friendly devices.  For the Gamer or Simulator pilots, iFly GPS is endorsed by X-Plane for GPS and is fully functional when using an Android tablet in conjunction with X-Plane Flight Simulator.  

iFly GPS is the first Android Navigation App to offer full ADS-B Transceiver integration, allowing the pilot to change the squawk code, ident and more, all within the iFly GPS App.  Adventure Pilot and SkyGuardTWX have partnered to offer the portable Vision-Pro ADS-B Transceiver on iFlyGPS.com store at a $100 savings for iFly GPS customers.  iFly GPS for Android is also compatible with Dual, Clarity, iLevil, NavWorx, SkyRadar, and SkyGuardTWX ADS-B receivers.

“With Android tablets and phones gaining market share rapidly, we believe having a full-featured app on both Android and IOS positions the iFly GPS brand among pilots top navigation app choices.  Having our Multi-Platform Upgrade will allow the use one subscription on mix of 3 devices on iOS and Android, better suits the needs and preferences of pilot’s mobile needs”, states Shane Woodson, VP of Business Development, further noting, “The iFly GPS App gives pilots the ability to seamlessly upgrade to our Sunlight Readable aviation GPS, the iFly 720, should their consumer-grade tablet not be bright enough. The ‘Tablet’ is here to stay, and now iFly GPS is positioned to better serve pilots with our Best in Industry Service and Value.”

The Multi-Platform Upgrade allows the pilot’s account to be used on a mix of 3 Android and iOS devices that they own.  Adventure Pilot also manufacturers and develops sunlight readable aviation GPS for pilots.  Existing iFly 520 and 700/720 can add the iFly GPS App option to their account for only $19.99 more.  Adventure Pilot focuses on growth by providing top-notch customer service, listening to fellow pilot feedback, and offering the most practical, simple-to-use navigation experience.

Annual subscriptions start at $69.99, a fully-loaded IFR option is available for $40 more.  iFly GPS for Android works on most tablets and phones operating Android 4.0 or higher.
