I use both Garmin 396 with weather and IFly 700 in my RV4. Both are great! Having actual sectionals, low altitude enroute charts, approach plates, etc. via the IFly 700 is unbeatable. I agree that the IFly staff is extremely responsive to improvement suggestions. Autopilot interface, geo-referenced approach plates, and weather are not too far away. Also, as these improvements are implemented there will likely be no additional fees unless they use an outside vendor. The touch screen allows for easy and quick route changes when ATC throws a curve. It is an outstanding unit!

HMMM, IFLY or the Garmin Error....I think I'll Fly.

iFly 700
 

AutoPilot is in it's testing stage, maybe out next month. Street mode is coming soon as well. I have an iFly 700, AV8OR and love my iFly. My CFII that does my BFR's saw it and fell in love. He converted from an older Garmin to the iFly 700. Never looked back.

Sectionals and IFR charts for $89 for the year! My favorite feature is the touch and drag flight plan. 7" touch screen is perfect size.

Ps- I fly a C-172 and looking to buy/build a RV. I am 6'6", would a RV7 or RV8 be suitable. Have'nt been able to sit in one to see. Anyone ever eat at LNC's new cafe, just shout.

Thanks,

If you are not expecting to fly into Canada they look like a great product. They don't as of yet support any maps for Canada, and probably won't till Nav Canada lowers their prices.

I was told they are talking with Nav Canada and it is a priority for them to add. Apparently Nav Canada is slower to respond than they hoped for. Looks like Canada will be coming soon if Nav Canada will work with them promptly.

I ordered my Ifly 700 Saturday. I even talked to Walter on Christmas Day by E-mail. How's that for customer service. The unit already has the RS232 output and He told me they would have the autopilot part ready by the time my plane is flying which should be in March. He said it will be just a software update to make it function. Can't wait! :)

bought an ifly 700 also
 

I got tired of my Garmin 496 update costs $ as well as what i consider somewhat poor gps signal reception with both the unit and remote antennas.

The ifly 700 is a great deal. Everything from the packaging, unit performance, and customer support is excellent. The large screen is awesome compared to the small Garmin.

It took me longer to open the box than to get the unit up and running.
WOW this thing is easy to use.
The unit showed I had good GPS signal inside my home sitting by the window with the curtains drawn!

so far so good. an excellent value for $500

Update
 

Now that my plane is flying I have been able to try out the autopilot RS232 interface. It works great. Just connected the blue wire from my TruTrak EFIS-autopilot to the IFLY-700 with a ground and it works perfectly. You do need to buy the RS232 cord from IFLY to make is work right as the drivers are in a chip in the cord.
