Adds Premium Features Including Sunlight Readability, Automated
Wi-Fi Updating
Adventure Pilot has started shipping its new premium GPS
navigation device for GA pilots. The new iFly 720 builds on popular
features from its little brother, the iFly 700. New features
include sunlight readability, simple automated Wi-Fi Updating and
iFly Streets, plus premium hardware enhancements like a faster
processor, more efficient memory and internal power capacitor the
company says position the iFly 720 for future developments and
enhancement possibilities.
Walter Boyd, President of Adventure Pilot, states “The new
iFly 720 gives iFly GPS a premium device benefiting pilots with
extremely bright cockpits,” further noting that “pilots
will not want to miss out on our upcoming software updates later
this spring.” Terrain/Obstructions, Portrait Mode and
Vertical Flight Planning are just a few teasers of what Adventure
Pilot will be adding to the iFly 720 and its little brother, the
iFly 700, later this spring.
Pilots with brighter cockpits will benefit from the iFly
720’s new advanced sunlight readable touch screen. Screen
visibility is noticeably improved with the addition of a brighter
7” screen and further increased with today’s advanced
sunlight technologies. Pilots using the iFly Streets navigation
while in the car will also notice improved daytime visibility. The
iFly 720 aims to offer pilots a rare blend of value and
functionality in a high-priced premium device market.
The iFly 720 features automated Wi-Fi updating. The unit can be
updated by simply accessing a Wi-Fi internet connection. Loaded
with many custom install options, pilots can choose as much or
little as data to update based on the time at hand. For example, a
pilot can simply update the Weather and TFR data within seconds.
The iFly 720’s new Wi-Fi capability also adds additional
expansion options to 3rd party devices and hardware.
Traveling pilots can now easily go from the runway to the
highway with the new iFly Streets road navigation program included
on every iFly 720. iFly Streets delivers voice-guided, turn-by-turn
driving directions and comprehensive travel information including a
complete database of POIs, lodging, gas stations and more at no
additional cost.
Each iFly GPS includes high-resolution geo-referenced sectional
maps, IFR Low En Route charts, Approach Plates with highlighted
Special Use Airspace and more. Pilots have a full Airport Facility
Directory, complete with public and private airports in a
revolutionary simple to use format. The unit comes with a universal
suction mount, remote control, AC/DC power adapters and case. It
also supports advanced features including output to an autopilot
and live WX from 3rd party ADS-B receivers and more. The unit is
priced at $749.
