I have used both SkyDemon and AirNavPro on an iPad 1 and found that the interface is slow.
It takes quite some time to generate the map while zooming in /out. Walking through the menu's is slow as well.

How is the performance on the iPad 2? Has anyone tested SkyDemon on the "New iPad" yet?

I'm thinking about selling my iPad 1 and buying a iPad 3 solely for the smooth user experience I'm currently missing.
Is it worth it? Would the iPad 3 be faster? With the resolution 4 times higher it will cost a lot more power to generate the image.

Thanks Tim & all,

I'm just on the point of buying my first iPad, in order to run SD on a new panel I'm laying out.

I assume from the dialogue here that it's 'safe' to go for an iPad 3, but please correct me, if necessary.

Hi, yes I am using the iPad3 or as Apple say the New iPad, its brilliant!
