What are the major changes? Will it by any chance graphically display TFR'S?

But with iOS5 you could encounter big problems as the iCloud function may delete cached maps in order to make room for "things".

This was supposedly "fixed" with an update just released yesterday.
Check for the latest update. |

The biggie I think is the new XM weather overlay capabability. It will require a WxWorx WR-10 portable XM receiver and a Baron Mobile Link for a WiFi link. And an XM weather subscription, of course. If you go to the ForeFlight FAQ page on their web site, it covers the hardware required and costs.

I have the update and the weather overlays are awesome. You can use that on the 3g or wifi. I know the XM is required for flight but I have been waiting on them to bring up the mapping to compete with the My-cast by Garmin and they have done well!
The map zoom is now on the same level as Wingx and Garmin. I just waiting on ADS-B connection.

Do you have to have the XM option for the graphically display of the TFR's? The website is not clear on that. Hopefully they will display via WiFi or 3G during flight planning.
