This was my favorite aviation app. However, it looks like support has ended. Maps no longer available. Database can't be trusted

I started with the Lite version and was hooked. I bought the SE version next thinking that would satisfy my needs. Finally, I couldn't resist the US version, and wish I'd have sprung for it in the beginning, but that is in hind sight. I'm not saying there is no room for improvement, but this app rates right up there is dedicated moving map portable GPS receivers. I use it every time I fly now. I don't always have the sectionals cached, and so sometimes I revert to the data screen, but I believe there is a way to cache your route prior to flight to avoid that necessity. It's a secondary source for me, but it's fantastic. I learned to fly on steam gauges and under the old airspace classifications (TRSA, ARSA, TCA, etc...) and frankly the environment was pretty forgiving back then. The hotest thing going was LORAN. Busting airspace is a much bigger deal than in the past, so having a GPS for situational awareness is very nice. I've flown with friends using their big name portables, and for the price, this app compares well. It's not WAAS and some of the bells and whistles aren't there. However, for graphic representations of your position on sectionals, it is great.
